LAURENCE REES: And the single best leader of the war?
SIMON SEBAG-MONTEFIORE: That’s a difficult one. I think Churchill was the greatest leader of the war even though he made colossal mistakes. He drove Alanbrooke almost to the edge of insanity with irritation. I think he was a superb war leader and Roosevelt was too. Roosevelt was really the sort of politician that interfered the least.
