He met staff and advisors, read cables, correspondence, communiques, newspapers, government reports, intelligence data. He chaired meetings of numerous committees, the most important being the War Cabinet. Churchill wrote his own speeches, corresponded and met with world leaders, most importantly Stalin and Roosevelt.
