Produktbeschreibung

More books have been written about Winston Churchill than any modern historical figure but Peter Clark's Churchill's Britain does something quite different, taking the reader the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland to lesser-known places associated with Churchill's life. Some are familiar - Blenheim Palace, Chartwell, the Cabinet War Rooms - but we also see his schools, the far-flung parliamentary constituencies in Dundee and Epping, the sites of famous speeches, the place where he started to paint, the shop where he bought his cigars, and the graves of his family and close friends. We read about these places in his own words alongside Clark's insightful analysis and, by visiting sites that made important but less-celebrated contributions to the story of Churchill's life, come closer to a full picture. Clark takes us from the site of his father's marriage proposed to his American wife on the Isle of Wight, to his grave in a country churchyard in Oxfordshire. Each of the eight regions of the United Kingdom is introduced with a map, and the entries cross-referenced. It can be dipped into, consulted by the traveller, or read straight through. However used, Churchill's Britain provides fascinating and fresh insights into this extraordinary man.
