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'.
Mary S. Lovell has written several major biographies, including The Churchills, Bess of Hardwick: First Lady of Chatsworth, A Rage to Live: A Biography of Richard and Isabel Burton and Straight on till Morning: The Biography of Beryl Markham. She lives in Hampshire.
