The Churchills: In Love and War Review"The Churchills" captures the complex and intense family relationships that nurtured, shaped, inspired and burdened the greatest Briton to ever live. For the reader, like myself, who has read their share of Churchill biographies, and many of the books that he authored himself, you will find Lovell's book to be a must read. Lovell offers facts, anecdotes, and details on family relationships that constitute the landscape of Winston S. Churchill's life, as well as, the exceptional and, at times, outrageous extended family of Churchills by birth and marriage. The crush of debt, spendthrift extravagance, mental depression, suicides, inspired brilliance, career ending misjudgments, infidelities, divorces, religious conversions, extreme political views, and enduring love affairs make up the story of this family, as told by Lovell. Like Churchill himself, the family is larger than life and its story reads like an amazing novel. The reality of this family's story is simply too exceptional to be accepted as plausible fiction. It spans and fully engages every significant event from the age of Victoria to the passing of Kennedy's Camelot. A number of leading personalities and families of Britain, Continental Europe, and America are entwined with the Churchill family in a churning array of in-laws, paramours, and confidants. On that point, I would offer my only criticism. The family relationships, friendships, and multi-generational complexity of names, titles, and divorces would benefit from a more extensive family tree or list of key personalities. The use of first names, nicknames, and titles in the text did send me to the index a number of times to confirm the identity and relationships of the person being referenced. That is a minor complaint and, perhaps, illustrates the detailed and comprehensive history presented by the book. For anyone who enjoyed the movie "The King's Speech" or was fascinated by the recent royal wedding, you will be absorbed by this book in the first chapter. It is akin to the kind of entertaining insight offered of the aristocracy by the TV series Upstairs Downstairs. Of course, the families, traditions and personalities that shaped Churchill's character are now represented by a new generation of aristocracy. Like in the age of Winston, this new generation recently filled Westminster Abbey for the pomp of the latest royal wedding. After reading Lovell's book you may, indeed, appreciate how history repeated itself in the Churchill family. The book may also prompt a prayer of "God save Kate Middleton Windsor".The Churchills: In Love and War Overview
