He’s such a hero, a vulnerable sensitive former detective that people have really taken to their hearts. "Kate has written three such brilliant groundbreaking historical books in between that you could forget this passion Jackson Brodie evokes in people. We’ve been getting that message for many years,” said Velmans.

![]() ![]() We see that again in Churchill’s career: he wasn’t a very good peacetime leader, frankly, but a great wartime one. I think this is where the great leadership-studies industry, especially in America, pretty much breaks down. What does leadership in war teach us about leadership in peace? Having said that, we’re very lucky that Winston Churchill did have that extremely egotistical disorder, because it kept him fighting, even when all seemed lost. But to believe you’re specially chosen – apart from Jesus – it’s pretty much a prima facie case of psychological disorder. He believed his survival from the assassination plotters on 20 July 1944 was providence. No, I think it’s a form of psychological disorder to think you are specially destined. There is a tendency to see truly great leaders as men and women of destiny. Even though it was for a bad cause, Robert E Lee can’t be considered anything other than a great war leader. I think Adolf Hitler was a successful war leader up till June 1941, but then he fell off a little, so I have included him because there are lessons to be learned about the errors. Napoleon is the key exception to the rule. History is written by the victors, but can someone lose a war and remain a great leader? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pursued through Paris by the underground magical society known as the Haute, Anouk and her fellow beasties only have three days to find the real killer before the spell keeping them human fades away.
