The first comprehensive history of the deeply entwined personal and public lives of the Churchills and the Kennedys and what their “special relationship” meant for Great Britain and the United States When Lions Roar begins in the mid-1930s at Chartwell, Winston Churchill's country estate, with new revelations surrounding a secret business deal orchestrated by Joseph P. Kennedy, the soon-to-be American ambassador to Great Britain and the father of future American president John F. Kennedy. From London to America, these two powerful families shared an ever-widening circle of friends, lovers, and political associates – soon shattered by World War II, spying, sexual infidelity, and the tragic deaths of JFK's sister Kathleen and his older brother Joe Jr.  By the 1960s and JFK's presidency, the Churchills and the Kennedys had overcome their bitter differences and helped to define the “greatness” in each other.  Acclaimed biographer Thomas Maier tells this dynastic saga through fathers and their sons – and the remarkable women in their lives – providing keen insight into the Churchill and Kennedy families and the profound forces of duty, loyalty, courage and ambition that shaped them. He explores the seismic impact of Winston Churchill on JFK and American policy, wrestling anew with the legacy of two titans of the twentieth century. Maier also delves deeply into the conflicted bond between Winston and his son, Randolph, and the contrasting example of patriarch Joe Kennedy, a failed politician who successfully channeled his personal ambitions to his children. By approaching these iconic figures from a new perspective, Maier not only illuminates the intricacies of this all-important cross-Atlantic allegiance but also enriches our understanding of the tumultuous time in which they lived and the world events they so greatly influenced. With deeply human portraits of these flawed but larger-than-life figures, When Lions Roar explores the “special relationship” between the Churchills and Kennedys, and between Great Britain and the United States, highlighting all of its emotional complexity and historic significance.

This is a thoroughly researched, well-written book that spans a century's worth of world history viewed through the lenses of two of the most famous families of the 20th century. The author's expertise in writing about the Kennedys has been previously established with very well-received books, but for When Lions Roar he provides additional research and a fascinating, very detailed glimpse into the life and personality of Joe Kennedy (without whitewashing any of the facts) and Winston Churchill (again, presenting Churchill warts and all). While some of the most famous anecdotes about Churchill's witty repartee are repeated here, rather than being original discoveries, Maier has found a wealth of new material of great variety and depth. His revelations about the ways in which both Joe Kennedy and Churchill were more or less in cahoots with the wheeling and dealing of Bernard Baruch in ways that would most certainly be considered insider trading today are spelled out for the first time ever reported in down to the decimal point detail. He quotes extensively, with unsettling findings, from a young JFK's notes, letters, and other writings (as a Harvard college student and in his first years post-college) about his surprisingly pro-German views during the years leading up to WWII and even during the war. And he is the first biographer to have unearthed the disturbing position that Churchill took after Hiroshima and Nagasaki to try to induce the US to drop an atomic bomb on Moscow to eliminate Russia as a post war threat by eliminating their leadership structure.Maier has a superb flow to his narrative. He also manages to unearth kernels of insights and family connections -- especially about JFK's siblings and Churchill's children and their many failed marriages, with particular attention to the difficult relationship between Winston Churchill and his oldest son -- and presents very well-rounded portrayals of many others of the cast of characters (from FDR to Averill Harriman to Lord Beaverbrook, who served as Minister of Aircraft Production for Great Britain at Churchill's behest from 1940 to 1941 and significantly boosted aircraft production at a critical time). Readers will come away from this volume with a much better understanding of JFK's sister, Kick, Jackie O. (and why the Kennedy marriage was already floundering badly before JFK's death), and an entire host of British socialites and their sexual picadilloes. All in all, a fascinating read with detailed source notes to back up the substance of the book.I should mention that I own at least 15 books about Churchill, as well as more than a dozen volumes he wrote, and I still learned a lot about him and his mindset from Maier.
