Ahh, don't you just love someone who comes out with right-wing nonsense (alliance with Nazi Germany, inferiour races etc) but then says no one can judge me. Well I'm afraid they can - if it talks like a fascist it normally is one regardless of the use of big words...
But back to Churchill. Yes, his books are good, well worth a read, his history of WWII in particular - its dated in the sense that there are far more rounded histories out there, but its standard of writing makes it pretty good reading, much like Orwells wartime journalism.
But did he win the war? Well actually 24 million dead Russians might have had rather more to do with it, along with the fact that 80% of German/Axis casualties (along with the overwhelming majority of tank losses) were from fighting the Soviets. So if we really have to have a single person winning the war (although I find the concept rather silly) the only serious candidate for the honour is actually Comrade Stalin...
