In a 2002 poll, Winston Churchill was voted "Greatest Briton" by BBC audiences, and it's no wonder: The cigar-chewing statesman is widely recognized as one of the greatest wartime leaders in modern history. Yet Churchill was just one member - albeit a highly accomplished one - of an extraordinary family that produced warriors, statesmen, royal brides (Princess Diana was Winston's cousin)…and enough scandals to fill a television soap opera! This in-depth biography explores the triumphs and tragedies of five generations of the famous family, a fascinating and richly detailed tour through more than a century of British history.
