Flying Peril: The threat of a German air force superior to Britain’s, denied for years by British leaders, proved only too true.

Churchill’s Marlborough: His Life and Times is more than a biography; it is a masterful illustration of statesmanship. In addition to his depiction of his ancestor John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough, Churchill discusses the merits of Marlborough's contemporary, Pope Innocent XI. In Churchill’s presentation, Innocent’s ability to see beyond facile religious resemblance and shape his actions with prudence and principle elevates him to the company of statesmen.

Maisky was fortunate. Though recalled from London in mid-1943 and retired in 1945, he did not suffer the fate of so many Soviet diplomats. He was arrested in 1953, and Stalin’s death may have saved his life. He was released from prison in 1955, and died in 1975 aged 91. He wrote five volumes of memoirs, discreet and judicious, of course. Now thanks to Gabriel Gorodetsky he gets full vindication: his every thought is revealed.

HRH The Duke of Edinburgh has the first copy. The Duke of Marlborough has the second, and Sir Winston Churchill’s great-grandson Randolph (who wrote the foreword) ordered eight as Christmas presents. You should have one, if you are a total-immersion Churchillian with a penchant for the extraordinary, for Winston’s Island, the Isle of Wight, has its unique claim to a place in the saga.
