Lord Randolph Churchill (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

In the making of this authoritative biography of his father’s life, Winston Churchill pored over every surviving letter his father had ever received as well as scrapbooks of newspaper accounts concerning the elder Churchill compiled by Randolph’s sister. With these and the invaluable input of his father’s colleagues and friends, he produced this insightful study of Lord Randolph Churchill’s contentious parlimentary life, and the rarified world of Victorian politics and British high society.
