The epic story of one of England's greatest families, focusing on the towering figure of Winston Churchill.The first Duke of Marlborough (1650-1722) was a soldier of such genius that a lavish palace, Blenheim, was built to honor his triumphs. Succeeding generations of Churchills sometimes achieved distinction but also included profligates and womanizers, and were saddled with the ruinous upkeep of Blenheim. The family fortunes were revived in the nineteenth century by the huge dowries of New York society beauties Jennie Jerome (Winston's mother) and Consuelo Vanderbilt (wife to Winston's cousin).Mary S. Lovell brilliantly recounts the triumphant political and military campaigns, the construction of great houses, the domestic tragedies, and the happy marriage of Winston to Clementine Hosier set against the disastrous unions of most of his family, which ended in venereal disease, papal annulment, clinical depression, and adultery.The Churchills were an extraordinary family: ambitious, impecunious, impulsive, brave, and arrogant. Winston—recently voted "The Greatest Briton"—dominates them all. His failures and triumphs are revealed in the context of a poignant and sometimes tragic private life.

This book is not solely about Winston Churchill although his life occupies the major part of it. Author Mary Lovell begins the story by introducing John Churchill, 7th Duke of Marlborough, who lived from 1822 to 1823 and was Winston’s paternal grandfather. Winston’s father was Lord Randolph Churchill and, curiously enough, it was Randolph’s lack of fatherly attention towards Winston that played a positive role in Winston’s youth; it made him self-reliant, ambitious, and an almost maniacal workhorse. Lovell provides a two page selective Churchill family tree at the start which is very useful in keeping track of everyone. In the text leading up to Winston’s youthful years, we’re treated to plenty of tales about the higher echelons of British society. In those days, there were many marriages arranged between American women who were very wealthy and English noblemen who had little money but large estates to maintain. In many cases, the resulting marriages were unhappy unions, a result which caused either the husband or wife, or both, to seek love and sexual pleasures elsewhere, thereby generating tons of fodder for the London gossip mills. The standing rule in these “open marriages” was that the unfaithful party should be very discreet and not cause gossip or scandal. Winston participated in the Boer War as both a correspondent/journalist and a fighter. He was most anxious to get into the thick of combat, not for patriotic reasons but to burnish his reputation in order to achieve success in the political arena when he returned to England. He knew early in his life that he wanted a career in politics and spent all his energies to achieve his goals. Winston and Clementine, his sole wife of many years, traveled extensively, sometimes together and other times as individuals going to different places on political or business matters as well as vacations. Their lives intersected with other well known persons such as Mussolini, Franklin D. and Eleanor Roosevelt, Evelyn Waugh, Jack Kennedy, Aristotle Onassis and many others. Both lived long lives and sadly witnessed the deaths of three of their five children. I recommend William Manchester’s Last Lion trilogy to those wishing more details about the life of Winston Churchill.
