Why read it?

1 author picked Churchill and America as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Named Churchill’s official biographer in 1968, Gilbert draws on his vast library of research to focus on Churchill’s abiding interest in the native land of his mother, the former Jennie Jerome of New York. The chronological account reflects Churchill's growing attachment to what he called “the great Republic.”

Over time and on a personal basis, the U.S. became significant financially to the statesman and author. He saw the rising power of America and wanted to have the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth closely allied with the emerging superpower.
