The Lessons from History series analyzes historical situations using modern business analysis techniques and takes the lessons learned and applies them to modern business scenarios.  The series is made up of books, ebooks, audiobooks, and DVDs aimed at senior business leaders.

For example, the award-winning book Churchill's Adaptive Enterprise: Lessons for Business Today looks at a period during WWII when Winston Churchill was first elected as Prime Minister of Britain.  At that time, the UK faced an imminent German invasion that the British were not prepared to fight.  In just a few short weeks, Churchill restructured the government, the military, and the UK economy to prepare it for the upcoming battle.  In the process, he created a sense-and-respond management system (including impressive information aggregation processes) that helped turn the tide of the war.  Lessons learned from this situation can be applied to companies facing stiff competition or who need to dramatically change the way they respond to external inputs.  A winner of the 2007 Eric Hoffer Book Award, this book has received extensive praise from business leaders.
