Winston Churchill As I Knew Him by Violet Bonham Carter

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket is in fair condition with significant wear. Interior and binding are very good.

Lady Violet Bonham Carter first met Sir Winston Churchill in 1906, when she was nineteen, and he was already thirty-three. She was the daughter of Herbert Henry Asquith, then Chancellor of the Exchequer and soon-to-be Prime Minister. Churchill was Under-Secretary for the Colonies, his first political office.

Their friendship was immediate and proved long-lasting. She watched Churchill's career from its beginnings to its end, and this absorbing book presents a fascinating and striking study of him.
