Reader Reviews:
a valuable addition to the Churchill story (1/1 people found this helpful)
This book is an extremely valuable addition to our knowledge of Mr Churchill's wide-ranging activities during World War Two. Well researched, thoroughly sourced, and carefully written, it is particularly useful for the picture it provides of the reality of voyaging thousands of miles in dangerous times. The narrative is interesting and clearly written, and reveals much about the private comforts and discomforts endured to ensure the ongoing of relations between the allied leaders. Unusually, it also offers an illuminating insight into the role of the lesser yet equally important figures, such as the pilots, crews, secretaries and typists who worked quietly in the background as the Prime Minister travelled the world. Further information about the personnel on these journeys can be found in Elizabeth Nel's "Winston Churchill by His Personal Secretary" and Joanna Moody's "From Churchill's War Rooms Letters of a Secretary 1943-45".
