He was a lion of a guy who helped condition the span of this century along with his relentless ambition and brutal political instincts. Few have matched Winston Churchill's cunning or push of will. Few have seen the equivalent of his audacity on the battlefield or the willpower with which he strove toward his own ideal of greatness. On the height of his electric power, he seemed to embody the ideals of the empire he helped support: valour, delight, and most importantly, traditions. His sense of personal future was rooted deeply in the legacy of his birth-right, the traditions of his family, and the amazing responsibility of being given birth to Churchill. In The Private Lives of Winston Churchill, John Pearson calls for us behind the misconception of Churchill and deep into the psychology of your dynasty that some have called the most complicated Anglo-American family of this hundred years. In doing so, he reveals, in wealthy portraits, some of the family's most significant, most charismatic, and most deeply troubled associates and shows us the real, private Winston Churchill. John Pearson was born in 1930, and informed at King's School College, Wimbledon and Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he read background. He spent some time working on various papers, including the Economist, The Times, and the Sunday Times where for a time he had written the Atticus column. After the success of his Life of Ian Fleming, he decamped with better half and family to Rome, where he resided for a few years. Mr Pearson returned to England to research and write the life span and times of the Kray brothers, and is now at work on a full-scale biography of the Sitwells.
