Heroes of World War II: Men and Women Who Put Their Lives on the Line is a new publication from LIFE Books that features important figures from the period. Opening the “Political Heroes” section is a beaming Winston Churchill, the less well-known photograph of Britain’s Prime Minister in 1941, made immediately after what has come to be referred to as Karsh’s Roaring Lion portrait.
