This will not be the last time Clementine Churchill will save her husband. Lady Clementine is the ferocious story of the ambitious woman beside Winston Churchill, the story of a partner who did not flinch through the sweeping darkness of war, and who would not surrender either to expectations or to enemies" --; "Lady Clementine Churchill did not flinch through the sweeping darkness of war, and would not surrender either to expectations or to enemies. Her scandalous childhood, her unexpected role as a social outsider, her maternal insecurities, and the daily struggles she faced to smooth her husband's political blunders were only a part of her private world. As Winston Churchill's wife, Clementine was a brilliant woman whose impact and influence on world events deserves to be known" -- ER -
