"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" -- adapted from Amazon.com info.
