Churchill was indeed lousy at more or less everything except boosting morale and keeping the Yanks on-side. These things were, of course, absolutely necessary between 1939 and 1945, but I think it is a reflection of how much we thought of him as a peacetime PM that we booted him out as soon as possible after VE Day. Great war leader, yes; Man of the Century, no.
