Drawing on the family papers placed in trust, the young Winston Churchill follows his father from Eton and Oxford to the seat for Woodstock, the irreverent ‘Fourth Party’, the campaign for Tory Democracy, the Irish question and the Reform Bill, and his rise to Chancellor of the Exchequer, quoting speeches and letters at length.
A major Victorian political biography and an early showcase of the prose style that later won Churchill the Nobel Prize. Download the free EPUB.
