Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Illus. With Photos (illustrator). Now in her eighty-ninth year, Mary Soames is the only surviving child of Winston and Clementine Churchill. Younger than her siblings by several years, she went to day school and enjoyed an idyllic childhood played out in her very own 'Garden of Eden' - Chartwell. Here she roamed house and grounds, tended diligently to her collection of pets, and had her first glimpses of the glittering social world in which her parents moved. Then, in 1939, Chamberlain's declaration of war dramatically ended this world as she and her family had known it. Hereafter we follow Mary's life through her fascinating personal diary, published here for the first time. Through the immediacy of her private observations we are drawn into a world where the ordinary minutiae of a packed family, social and romantic life proceed against a background of cataclysmic events. Joining the ATS and serving in mixed anti-aircraft batteries, Mary takes on her own set of professional demands while sharing the many anxieties and stresses brought to bear upon her family through her father's position. The mutual love and affection between Mary and her parents is evident on every page, from her earliest years at Chartwell to Winston's defeat at the 1945 general election, when Mary recounts her own pain and devastation on her father's behalf. At this point she meets her future husband, Christopher Soames. We are left in no doubt at the end of this charming and revealing memoir that, at twenty-four, Mary has lived a full life and is well prepared for her future as young wife and mother.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When Clementine, Lady Spencer-Churchill died in 1977, aged 92, she had become a much-loved and iconic figure to the British public. In spite of being instantly recognisable as the seemingly serene, cool and detached wife of Winston Churchill, she had nonetheless shunned publicity throughout her life. In this fully updated, award-winning biography, her daughter Mary Soames throws new light on her mother, writing with affection and candour of Clementine's fifty-seven-year marriage to Winston, her strongly held political views and a life that spanned many of the major events of the twentieth century. Clementine Churchill was the perfect wife for Winston. For the years of their marriage she supported him through the triumphs, disasters and tensions that ruled his public and private life. As a shy, passionate and highly-strung woman, Clementine's self-control was constantly tested to the utmost by the turmoil of public life and in the no less harrowing family crises and the ever-present financial anxieties. When they married in 1908, Winston was already a Member of Parliament, and thereafter their life was played out mostly in front of the nation and the world. Winston always trusted Clementine completely and she became his valuable counsellor and companion. He invariably wanted her opinion - but did not always take her advice. She believed in him unreservedly, and in his destiny. When first published in 1979, CLEMENTINE CHURCHILL won the Yorkshire Post Prize for Best First Work and a Wolfson Prize for History. This major revision makes full use of a wealth of new, intrinsically personal material that has come to light since then and elaborates further on many of the issues raised in the original edition.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Clementine Churchill by Mary Soames is a deeply personal and richly detailed biography of one of the 20th century?s most influential yet often overlooked women. Written by her daughter, this intimate portrait reveals Clementine as far more than just Winston Churchill?s wife?she was his trusted confidante, fierce supporter, and political partner throughout the turbulent years of two world wars and beyond. Soames draws on private letters, diaries, and family memories to paint a nuanced picture of a woman of intelligence, strength, and grace, offering fresh insight into both Clementine?s inner world and her vital role in shaping modern history. This biography is essential reading for anyone interested in the personal dynamics behind political power. I have repaired this book, but someone else had tried to repair it earlier with tape. The tape rapair is still there as I didn?t remove it, but I did cut is it was rubbish. My repair is much better. You can see part of the repair in the cover image, the black mark down the left side, that is because I replaced the spine with card. Its a good job and the book is quite readable but the old tap inside is a bit messy, although its all dry and non-sticky.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Drawing on a wide range of Churchill's personal correspondence, this title covers the great British wartime leader's long and consequential relationship with the United States of America, and reflects in his own words his lasting admiration for the land, people, and institutions of the country that was the birthplace of his mother, Brooklyn born Jennie Jerome. Special attention is focussed on Churchill's efforts to gain US support for Britain in the early years of World War II, in particular the Atlantic Conference on board the US Navy cruiser Augusta in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland on August 9th, 1941, where both Churchill and Roosevelt got to know each other much better, and established an unusually close political relationship through most of the war and the remainder of Roosevelt's life. Rare correspondence is also included on specific operations, such as the aborted Operation Velvet (1942) and the Normandy Landings, as well as Churchill's relationship with Harry Truman, strained at first, but which became ever stronger as the Cold War developed. The book includes an essay by Sir Martin Gilbert, one of our leading twentieth-century historians, and official biographer of Winston Churchill since the late 1960s, as well as a preface by Churchill's daughter Mary Soames. AUTHOR: Sir Martin Gilbert, has been Churchill's official biographer since 1968. Published works include six volumes on Winston Churchill's life, and eleven volumes of Churchill's documents, including three volumes of the Churchill War Papers. He has also written two highly acclaimed one-volume histories, The First World War and The Second World War, and a book about the victory in 1945, The Day the War Ended. Other titles include a personal memoir, In Search of Churchill and a photographic life study, Churchill: His Life in Photographs.
