You have sparked an interest now to read JFK's "Why England Slept" before his navy service ...
Now there was a real American Democrat "it's not what your country can do for you it's what you can do for your country!"

That's a close quote, but not quite right.
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

When I'm on an information "run" I also like to add a film or two for the fun of it. If the films are at all accurate it also gives a visual.
You might enjoy "Hope and Glory" about a young man growing up during the Blitz. It's a good mix of humor and drama.

look David Starkey up on the you tube. His film on the Churchills was great.
