Description

Clementine Churchill: A Life of Devotion and Duty. Mary Soames presents a deeply personal portrait of her mother, Clementine Churchill, in this fully updated biography. Written with affection and candour, the book sheds new light on Clementine's fifty-seven-year marriage to Winston, her strongly held political views, and a life that spanned many major events of the twentieth century. Clementine's relationship with Winston was one of mutual trust and respect, with her serving as his trusted counsellor and companion. Despite the turmoil of public life and family crises, Clementine remained a constant source of support and stability for her husband. This revised edition incorporates new material that sheds further light on Clementine's life and legacy. First published in 1979, this biography won several prestigious prizes and has since become a definitive work on one of Britain's most iconic women.
