Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. 'Winston Churchill had a rare capacity for friendship and Adrian Phillips has unerringly homed in on the close friends who helped him achieve victory in the Second World War. In this well-researched, closely argued and occasionally revisionist book, Phillips goes beyond most conventional accounts by also forensically focusing on the relationships between the friends, too, and especially their feuds. This work is an important addition to the Churchillian canon.' Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with DestinyThroughout his career Churchill was an outsider, accumulating a reputation for bad judgement and untrustworthiness. Only risk-takers and fellow outsiders would back him and he needed the company of like-minded individuals to create a social environment in which his personality could flourish. They were the acute and vigorous sparring-partners with whom he could hold the lively discussions which were life itself to him, in the convivial and epicurean surroundings he craved.They were Max Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook, who invested a fortune amassed in obscure financial dealings in a press empire which served his quest for power; Brendan Bracken was the model for the shady parvenu politician Rex Mottram in Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, but the true story of the Irishman who came from nowhere is even more extraordinary; the young Bob Boothby who would earn notoriety by conducting a scandalous, adulterous affair with Harold Macmillan's wife and dubious financial dealings; Frederick Lindemann later Lord Cherwell eminent scientist and ascetic, vegetarian and near-teetotal, who adored the cut and thrust of competitive conversation which was more important to the group than high-living. Together they were Winston's bandits, and this remarkable book tells the story of their friendship and of the part they played both in Churchill's triumphs and disasters. Winston's Bandits provides, for the first time, a detailed account of Winston Churchill's greatest friendships.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Though today he is hailed as one of Britain's greatest leaders, throughout his career, Winston Churchill was an outsider, accumulating a reputation for bad judgement and untrustworthiness. Only risk-takers and fellow outsiders would back him - but these strong and often feuding personalities proved to be vital to his decision-making in war and peace alike. Winston's Bandits provides, for the first time, a detailed account of his greatest friendships. These friends were Max Aitken, Lord Beaverbrook, a press baron who craved power but only on his own terms; Frederick Lindemann, later Lord Cherwell, an ascetic and quarrelsome scientist who believed in Churchill's intellectual genius; Brendan Bracken, an Irishman from a humble background who reinvented himself as a major force in financial publishing and gave Churchill unconditional support; the young Bob Boothby, who would earn notoriety for adventurous sexual conduct and dubious financial dealings; Randolph Churchill, who was often a disappointment and burden to his father; and Duncan Sandys, who reaped the full benefits of being Churchill's son-in-law in his political career. Together, they were Winston's bandits. This remarkable book explores how Churchill's relationships with these forceful and intriguing sparring partners provide the key to understanding his greatest triumphs and disasters. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR013954404
