Winston Churchill: Science and Statesmanship

Churchill  had a keen interest in science and technology.  Before and during the  Second World War, he had a science adviser, Professor Frederick  Lindemann, whose counsel was vital in the war effort.  After the war,  the threat of nuclear weapons consumed Churchill.  Science, coupled with  statecraft, informed how the West would wage and with the Cold War.
