<p>Based on his own recollections and unpublished diaries, here is a vivid description of Winston Churchill's inner circle written by his Private Secretary. The book describes those with whom Churchill both worked and relaxed -- not only the great men such as Roosevelt and de Gaulle but also his own family, his colleagues, and the lesser known figures who worked for him behind the scenes. In describing his relations with these associates, Colville provides an assessment of Churchill's great qualities and defects as well as glimpses of him as a statesman, a strategist, and a human being. 222 pages.</p>
