About This Item
BRAND NEW FIRST EDITION-" In the welter of popular and well-known stories and reminiscences about Churchill (many of them more legend than fact), it can be easy to forget that he was more than an inspirational leader and figurehead to a nation and its allies. For despite his many and varied successes, Brirtain's last great wartime Prime Minister was also a full-blooded human being, with all of the foibles, fallibility, bad temper, pig-headedness and vanity that are so often the shadows of such greatness. Ebullient, sometimes moody, and often mischievous, he lived a full and varied life beyond the demands of Parliament: sailing with his beloved wife, Clemmie, on the Admiralty yacht Enchantress, owning racehorses, playing polo, entertaining friends and family, all of which, and more, find a place in 274 Things You Should Know About Churchill." About the Author: "During the Second World War Patrick Delaforce served as a troop leader with the Royal Horse Artillery of the 11th Armored Division in Normandy, and also as a forward observation officer. After leaving the army he worked as a port wine shipper and in advertising before becoming a professional writer, mainly on historical and military subjects. 274 Things You Should Know About Churchill is his thirty-seventh book."
