Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. xxc, [1], 293 pages. Illustrations (some in color). Chronology. Source Notes. Bibliography. Index. Signed by the author on the title page. From Winston Churchill's granddaughter comes an anecdotal history that retraces his journeys across four continents and…70 years and offers glimpses into the great man's soul. Foreword by Mary Soames. Celia Sandys is a distinguished British author, journalist known for her extensive work on the life and legacy of her grandfather, Sir Winston Churchill. Born in 1943, Sandys is the daughter of Sir Winston's eldest daughter, Diana Churchill, and Cabinet Minister Duncan Sandys. Her unique position as a family member has granted her unparalleled access to intimate knowledge and personal insights into Churchill's life, allowing her to become one of the leading voices on his legacy. Sandys has authored several notable books that explore different aspects of Churchill's personal and political journey. Among her most acclaimed works are Churchill Wanted Dead or Alive, which details Churchill's adventurous experiences during the Boer War; Chasing Churchill: The Travels of Winston Churchill, a look at his global travels and international relationships; and We Shall Not Fail: The Inspiring Leadership of Winston Churchill, a study of Churchill's leadership qualities and how they continue to influence contemporary leadership ideals. Her books are meticulously researched and offer readers a unique and engaging perspective on Churchill. She has contributed to numerous documentaries and television programs, including Chasing Churchill, a series based on her book. Sir Winston Churchill was a well-traveled man. By the time he was twenty-five, his thirst for adventure had taken him to Cuba, India's North-West Frontier, the Sudan, and South Africa, as well as to battle, prison, and worldwide fame. During World War II, when as prime minister he held Britain's destiny in his hands, he hazarded arduous journeys not only to confer face-to-face with his allies Roosevelt and Stalin, but also to witness firsthand the action at the front. In later years, his enduring passion for painting prompted travels to locales like Marrakech. (He took President Roosevelt there in 1943, simply to view a splendid sunset.) Celia Sandys actually accompanied her famous grandfather on some of his later travels, most memorably on a cruise aboard Aristotle Onassis's yacht Christina, but for this always engaging book she herself has retraced his many journeys on four continents and sought out the people who knew, entertained, consulted, or simply crossed paths with him. And in numerous photographs and their long-untold stories she finds her grandfather's character illuminated in new, unexpected, and often surprising ways. Derived from a Kirkus review: Granddaughter Sandys follows in Winston's footsteps, giving impressions of his travels and those he met. Churchill was chock-a-block with restless energy, notes Sandys, who herself writes with comfortable ease; baldness notwithstanding, he lived as though his hair were on fire. Whether serving as a soldier, journalist, statesman, painter, colonial administrator, or a purveyor of major historical moments on the international stage, he viewed his life as one of long working. Change was regenerative for Churchill, as were scenes of adventure and excitement, though the author notes that he sought by his own admission "places where I could gain experience and derive advantage." This attitude gained him position after increasingly influential position within the British government; it also meant that Churchill witnessed and/or participated in some memorable historical moments, from the last cavalry charge at the Battle of Omdurman in 1898 to the first summer Maria Callas spent on Aristotle Onassis's yacht in 1959. Sandys succeeds in giving Churchill's travels the full treatment: not just the where and when, but how he reacted to the events at hand, the style in which he traveled, the pleasures he found in the landscape, his yearning to be at the sharp edge of things. The author reasonably find that his effectiveness as a politician required him "personally to influence people and make things happen." His willingness to go almost anywhere endeared him to people. A brimming life told with a refined touch. First Carroll & Graf Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing.
