The Churchills: A Family at the Heart of History - from the Duke of Marlborough to Winston Churchill - Softcover
From The Duke Of Marlborough To Winston Churchill. Having enjoyed Mary S Lovell's previous books, I was looking forward to this biography of The Churchills, and it has exceeded my expectations. In the preface, the author says she may be taken to task for adopting a 'gossipy' approach to her subjects. She also says that she began this project with the idea of writing about the entire Churchill family, but the scope was too much for one volume. Seeing that there are many biographies about individual people in this book, not least about its most famous member, Winston Churchill, that is a justifiable worry. However, Lovell has managed to produce a book that is sublime -interesting, informative and, yes, gossipy, in the most enjoyable way.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 624 pages. The Churchill family have exerted enormous power o n English history, and this book - the first single-volume accoun t to treat them as the successful dynasty they have been - tells their intimate story with great wit, colour and insight. From Joh n, 1st Duke of Marlborough brilliant military tactician and victo r of the battle of Blenheim to the gifted but flawed Lord Randolp h Churchill and his son Winston, their lives have connected consi stently with the fate of Britain. Mary Lovell shows too how influ ential the Churchill women have been - from Sarah Churchill who d ominated Queen Anne, through to Winston's beloved Clemmie and her relationship with US President Franklyn Roosevelt's wife, Eleano r.

Book Description Paperback. 'There never was a Churchill from John of Marlborough down who had either morals or principles', so said Gladstone. From the First Duke of Marlborough - soldier of genius, restless empire-builder and cuckolder of Charles II - onwards, the Churchills have been politicians, gamblers and profligates, heroes and womanisers. The Churchills is a richly layered portrait of an extraordinary set of men and women - grandly ambitious, regularly impecunious, impulsive, arrogant and brave. And towering above the Churchill clan is the figure of Winston - his failures and his triumphs shown in a new and revealing context - ultimately our 'greatest Briton'. Seller Inventory # 14224144
