Churchill and America

Churchill’s lifelong love affair with America

If you’re drawn to big personalities shaping world history, this feels especially rewarding because it shows Churchill through one of his most defining relationships. Martin Gilbert brings rare authority, so the book has the confidence and depth of someone who truly knows the archives inside out. It’s the kind of history that makes diplomacy feel personal, revealing how friendship, instinct, and political vision helped shape the modern Anglo-American alliance.

Description

The first examination of Churchill's remarkable seventy-year relationship with the United States and the foundation of the century-long alliance between the United States and Britain. Winston Churchill, whose mother Jennie Jerome was born in Brooklyn in 1850, spent much of his adult life in close contact with the United States. In two world wars, his was the main British voice urging the closest possible cooperation with the Americans. From before the First World War, he understood the power of the United States, the “gigantic boiler,” which, once lit, would drive the great engine forward. On the eve of his retirement as prime minister in 1955, in his final words to Cabinet, Churchill told his “Never be separated from the Americans.” The world’s foremost authority on Winston Churchill, Martin Gilbert, was appointed Churchill’s official biographer in 1968 and has since collected archival and personal documentation that explores every twist and turn of Churchill’s relations with the United States. In Churchill and America he reveals the golden thread of friendship and understanding running through the relationship, despite countless setbacks. The legacy of Churchill’s relationship with America continues to this day in the Anglo-American alliance in Iraq.
