About the Book More than 800 intimate letters between Winston Churchill and his wife, Clementine, are presented in this collection that provides a glimpse into the couple's ardent and playful lifelong love and offers a sweeping yet accessible view of British politics in the 20th century. Edited by the youngest, and last surviving, child of the Churchills. An "L.A. Times" Best Book of the Year. Photos. Book Synopsis Winston and Clementine Churchill wrote to each other constantly throughout the fifty-seven years of their life together, from the passionate and charming exchanges of their courtship until the year before Winston's death in 1965. Their letters provide rare and revealing insights into both the great political and social events of a turbulent century and the intimate world of an extraordinary partnership. Mary Soames, the only surviving child of this remarkable couple, has brought her parents to life as no biographer could. In moving detail we hear of Churchill's dramatic career and his final, deeply felt reflections on the fading of his enormous powers. And we hear Clementine, responding with her love and advice, and her belief in his destiny. Bringing these letters together for the first time, WINSTON AND CLEMENTIME is a surprising portrait of one of history's most significant figures.
