The Churchills

Description: Everyone knows Winston Churchill led Britain and her Allies in their struggle against Hitler; less well known is John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, who led Britain and her Allies against an earlier would-be dictator of Europe: Louis XIV of France. David Starkey tells the story of the Churchills, the two greatest war leaders in British history. John Churchill was not only Winston's ancestor, he was his inspiration and subject -- before he became Prime Minister, Winston Churchill was a writer, and arguably his greatest work was a million-word biography of John Churchill. As Starkey explains, it was the ten years spent working on the bio that turned Winston from a politician into a statesman-prophet, and prepared him for the immense task of leading the nation against Nazi Germany.
