Following previous abstracts, Vale and Scadding now complete their survey of Churchill’s health through his death in 1965. The format of their earlier articles continues. They present the evidence (mainly from diaries and memoirs), offer a chronology based on the official biography, quote press reports, and extensively discuss causal factors. Since technical language is minimal, their articles are readable by non-physicians. The main text is accompanied by vignettes on the relevant people and places.

On 18 August, he presided over a cabinet meeting lasting for nearly three hours. Apparently, none of his close colleagues who knew what had happened could believe he had suffered any new medical problem."
