The Churchills dominated world politics for generations8212;but, like every family, they too have their secrets. Winston8217;s mother, Jennie, had an affair with the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, and her spendthrift habits devastated the family8217;s reputation. The younger brother, Jack, played a crucial role both in Winston8217;s successes and in holding the family together during tough times. From Sir Randolph8217;s alleged syphilis to Winston8217;s illegitimacy, from Jennie8217;s gambling problem to Jack8217;s dashed ambitions, authors Celia and John Lee use never-before-seen archives to cut through the rumors and lies and get to the truth about the life of the former prime minister and his relationship with his family.
