"[The book's] power lies in a vivid re-creation not only of Churchill's public roles but also his private life-of good fortune but also family tragedy." -
The Wall Street Journal
An engaging and original account of 1921, a pivotal year for Churchill that had a lasting impact on his political and personal legacy
After the tragic consequences of his involvement in the catastrophic Dardanelles Campaign of World War I, Churchill's political career seemed over. He was widely regarded as little more than a bombastic and unpredictable buccaneer until, in 1921, an unexpected inheritance heralded a series of events that laid the foundations for his future success.
Renowned Churchill scholar David Stafford delves into the statesman's life in 1921, the year in which his political career revived. From his political negotiations in the Anglo-Irish treaty that created the Irish Free State to his tumultuous relationship with his "wild cousin" Clare Sheridan, sculptor of Lenin and subject of an MI5 investigation, this is an engaging portrait of this overlooked yet pivotal year in the great man's life.
"Sheds dazzling new light on both the man and the epoch." -Piers Brendon, author of
The Decline and Fall of the British Empire 1781-1997
"A brilliant portrayal of the triumphs and tribulations of Churchill's middle age." -Paul Addison, author of
Churchill: The Unexpected Hero
"Vividly adds perspectives and colour to a busy yet little known year of Churchill's life that most biographies can only treat in monochrome." -David Lough, author of
No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money
"A fascinating and fluent account of Churchill's efforts to win the peace and hold together the Empire." -Lawrence James, author of
Churchill and Empire
