Clementine: the life of Mrs. Winston Churchill
(Book)
Description
Late in life, Winston Churchill claimed that victory in the Second World War would have been "impossible' without the woman who stood by his side for fifty-seven turbulent years. Why, then, do we know so little about her? A long overdue tribute to this remarkably resilient woman, Clementine plunges us into the Churchills' vibrant and tumultuous private world. It reveals just how much Winston depended on his wife -- for solace and inspiration, and also for political advice. Clementine was a terrible mother, but you would be hard-pressed to find a more devoted and resourceful wife. -- Back cover
