Description
"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."
