On the 60th anniversary of his death, we're debating whether Winston Churchill was an inspirational hero who led Britain through its darkest hours, or a deeply flawed man whose imperialist views and mistakes left a legacy of suffering.
Joining Patrick is Allen Packwood, Director of Churchill Archives Centre at Churchill College, Cambridge; Prof Richard Toye, Director of Global Excellence at the University of Exeter; and David Reynolds, author of Mirrors of Greatness: Churchill and the Leaders Who Shaped Him.
