Hoo, boy!  Getting into dangerous waters here, chaps!  However, Churchill was an excellent athlete (fencing, polo), physically brave (almost to the point of foolhardiness), a lover of fine cigars and whisky.  You can choose the Churchill you want.

Dear Manly Man,
 
I don't think Churchill is your man!  He went weak-kneed at the sight of a beautiful or intelligent woman.  He cried copiously and was terrifically sentimental. He married a strong, (not to say 'manly') woman and 'lived happily ever-after.'  He was masculine without being hateful of anyone ('except Hitler, and that was strictly professional...') and overall is a poor roll-model for your group.  His overall positive attitude comes out in all his written works  and  could deflect your group from its purpose. Although I have not been able to offer you a recommendation, I see that many other Churchillians have stepped up and provided you with assistance. So, carry on, soldier!
 
p.s. Are women allowed in your Churchill Centre South Texas?
 
Carol

I founded and operate a men's only book club at http://www.he-manwomanhatersclub.net
 
We read books about manly men doing manly things in a manly way.  I want to feature a book about Churchill for our meeting in June.
 
The book has to be a moderate length read with action and it has to be available through major book sellers. 
 
I will appreciate any recommendations.
 
Thank you,
