Summary: Blenheim Palace, Chartwell, and the Cabinet War Rooms - all places synonymous with Winston Churchill. But there was much more to the great statesman than grand houses and government buildings. In Churchill's Britain, Peter Clark takes us the length and breadth of the British Isles. We visit the shop where Churchill bought his cigars in London, stop over at impressive country homes in Norfolk and Surrey, and join the crowds at impassioned political altercations in Belfast and Dundee. Each region is introduced with an historic map, bringing Britain as Churchill knew it to life. This tour of sites that made important contributions to the Churchill story pieces together a fresh, fascinating picture of an extraordinary individual.
