Marlborough scene from The Gathering Storm (2002): youtu.be/BvaVh6WGPE0 There are ten men I admired most...Cicero, Sima Yi, ( John) Adams, Bismarck, Churchill, ( Billy) Hughes, ( John) Curtin, ( Bob) Hawke, ( Paul) Keating, and of course Kissinger( I am very much tempted to add Stalin and Mao...but lets leave them aside for the time being). All except Adams operated more or less within the framework of realpolitik....and also these men are the great believers in destiny. Their strengths in times of trials came from their absolute conviction that their destinies are somehow intertwined with the destinies of their nations. And sometimes it seems to me that history has conspired to produce such great a titan( or rather an-Olympian-god-like) at such times when his/HER generation or nation needed most.
