About this ebook
A MUST-READ BIOGRAPHY OF WINSTON CHURCHILL, BRINGING HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WINDSOR FAMILY UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
'Highly readable' - Daily Mail
Winston and the Windsors is a rich and vivid story not only of how Churchill befriended and advised Kings, Queens, princes and princesses but of how the Prime Minister's splendid and glorious association with the crown shaped modern Britain.
Few figures in British history have been so deeply and consequentially involved with the British royal family as Winston Churchill. Churchill was unique in his role: helping to shape not only a single reign but an entire royal dynasty.
However, it was by no means a seamless relationship. At times, the royals treated him with suspicion and contempt; at others they were avuncular, competitive and cheering. Yet whether he was playing the role of antagonist to the royal family or that of trusted confidante, the Prime Minister's influence was central to the twentieth-century history of the monarchy. This is drama of the first order, at times thrilling and always compelling.
Winston and the Windsors marks the first dual biography of Winston Churchill alongside the royal family. Having unearthed much under-appreciated archival material - including diary entries, postcards and letters to and from Kings, Queens and princes - Morton presents a meticulously researched biography of a royal house and a beloved Prime Minister.
