Churchill was unique in his role: helping to shape not only a single reign but an entire royal dynasty.<br><br>However, it was by no means a seamless relationship. At times, the royals treated him with suspicion and contempt; at others they were avuncular, competitive and cheering. Yet whether he was playing the role of antagonist to the royal family or that of trusted confidante, the Prime Minister's influence was central to the twentieth-century history of the monarchy. This is <b>drama of the first order</b>, at times <b>thrilling </b>and always <b>compelling</b>.<br><br><i>Winston and the Windsors</i> marks the <b>first dual biography</b> of Winston Churchill alongside the royal family. Having <b>unearthed much under-appreciated archival material</b> – including <b>diary entries</b>, <b>postcards </b>and <b>letters </b>to and from Kings, Queens and princes – Morton presents a <b>meticulously researched</b> biography of a royal house and a beloved Prime Minister.<br><br><b>Also available:</b><br><i>Diana: Her True Story</i> (9781789290448)<br><i>Wallis in Love</i> (9781789293739)<br><i>Elizabeth and Margaret</i> (9781789294231)<br><i>The Queen</i> (9781789295313)</p>
