Though his best-known work was Churchill: A Study in Failure,” Robert was an admirer who had hoped to write a sequel, "Churchill: A Study in Success." His eight volumes of Churchill’s speeches are simply indispensable. True, he was a curmudgeon, but also a grand raconteur, full of stories about Churchill and Parliament. Our colleague Paul Addison remembered “what fun he was to be with. Such a warm and generous character, sparkling with gossip and full of enthusiasms.”

Churchill's best war books: “fascinating products of the human spirit, epic tales filled with the depravities, miseries, and glories of man.”
