Yes, personalities and persons. This implies something I stressed with our three homeschooled now-adults: history is persons, not events. To study the Civil War Between The States, for example, study Freeman's R. E. Lee. I also taught them that, after persons, history is geography. I tried to fashion them as keen observers of both, persons and geography. I also stressed the difference between time as chronos and time as kairos, emphasizing the major history-making power of the latter as against the very minor history-making power of the former. There is always chronos inside kairos, and there is rarely kairos inside chronos. But when there is kairos, with chronos inside it, history, as they say, is made, and by persons wisely employing features of geography at this place and that.

CDR,
I just ordered two of the books listed on this article, haven't read them yet so can't recommend them as such:
https://winstonchurchill.org/publications/finest-hour/finest-hour-172/churchill-and-eisenhower-2/
James C. Humes, Eisenhower and Churchill: The Partnership That Saved the West (New York: Forum Books, 2001)
Dwight D. Eisenhower, At Ease: Stories I Tell to Friends (New York: Doubleday, 1967)
Scribd deleted the letter - it's things like this that are the reason I never use Scribd. As to a book I suggest the following - https://www.amazon.com/Churchill-Eisenhower-Correspondence-1953-1955-Peter-Boyle/dp/0807819107
Try again. I just reentered the link.
This link, "https://www.scribd.com/document/550944680/Ike-s-1953-Letter-to-Churchill", produces this result: "Notice This document has been removed from Scribd." ...
Excellent. Love your insights and write-ups.

IKE is a huge part of my movement and service program: Liberty Accelerator Program for Armed Forces Family Readiness.
Imagination, Knowledge, and Effort will get us out of this mess.
Nothing else can.
