For the most part, Churchill was a political failure, swapping parties throughout his career. Lots of failures leading up to WW2, then cometh the hour, cometh the man. He was a callous and ruthless leader who would think nothing of sacrificing people and equipment in the name of victory, because in wartime, people get killed, but that could lead to success against the enemy. After WW2, he reverted to being a poor politician. I wouldn't say he was the greatest ever Briton, but he was ONE of the greatest. Aided very much during the war by the Americans, who helped most of the allies actually. The vast majority of military equipment used by the Russians was manufactured in the USA. But, the OP asks what kind of man was Churchill? TBH, I don't know. We mainly only knew him as a politician. See above.
well, a racist. "I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people [native Americans and Australians] by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."
In favour of poison gas in war. Against votes for women. Took money from oil companies to promote their interests.
the lefties hate him because he called them out for causing WW2 by inaction
The Conservatives were in power from 1935. Then as now it was customary to dig out the history books and blame everything on Labour. I for one blame Covid on Attlee.

//The following video//.... Is that one of the videos made for idiots? The toob is awash with them. They are click bait for the bored and ultimately boring.
Churchill, and he alone, saw through Hitler and his Nazis, facing him down when the rest of Europe and most of the World, including Stalin, acceded to his demands because they were terrified of the Nazi armed forces. The Americans as usual turned a blind eye to events unless they could make money from the situation and waited to see who was likely to prevail before throwing their cap in the ring. Any weapons that they did supply were paid for, every bullet, by the British including all the materials sent to Russia. Churchill inspired the British people and the Commonwealth Countries to endure and persevere the deprivations and destruction wrought by Hitler's mob of psychos, and ultimately led us to our finest hours. The French, Italians, Irish, and Belgians were all ready to cooperate and serve the needs of the Germans. Nothing changes. The debts to the avaricious yanks, incurred trying to stop Hitler, were finally paid in full during the leadership of another great Britain. Mrs Thatcher.

Without the USA in WW2, the UK might well have become a satellite of the USSR. Whether they wanted paying or not, without the USA, it would have been the Ruskies that won it, not us. Apart from the BOB, what other finest hours were there for Britain before the Yanks entered the war? Churchill was a great leader in WW2, but generally, a political failure.
