Description
Winston Churchill's life was marked by numerous close calls, and one man played a crucial role in saving him from harm. This is the story of Walter H. Thompson, Churchill's bodyguard from 1921 until 1945. Thompson's account of his time with Churchill has been uncovered through extracts from a recently discovered manuscript, offering a unique insight into the occasions when Churchill's life was put at risk and Thompson intervened to save him. The biography also draws on recollections from Thompson's marriage to one of Churchill's secretaries, as well as those of surviving family members. By examining this remarkable relationship, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the events that shaped Churchill's life during World War II.
