Both were batshit crazy, scholars, soldiers and moralists.
Martin Gilbert almost succeeds in making Churchill boring. An amazing book!
I'm not sure which is my favorite. I recently spent a couple of hours with a book that analyzed the politics of Churchill's writing his WWII memoirs. That was really interesting.
I think Meacham's "Franklin and Winston" was very good. Better than "Roosevelt and Churchill."
