Yet away from the House of Commons and the Cabinet War Rooms, Churchill was a loving family man who doted on his children, none more so than Randolph, his only boy and Winston's anointed heir to the Churchill legacy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRandolph may have been born in his father's shadow, but his father, who had been neglected by his own parents, was determined to see him go far. For decades, throughout Winston's climb to greatness, father and son were inseparable--dining with Britain's elite, gossiping and swilling Champagne at high society parties, holidaying on the French Riviera, touring Prohibition-era America. Captivated by Winston's power, bravery, and charisma, Randolph worshipped his father, and Winston obsessed over his son's future. But their love was complex and combustible, complicated by money, class, and privilege, shaded with ambition, outsize expectations, resentments, and failures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeeply researched and magnificently written, \u003ci\u003eChurchill \u0026amp; Son\u003c\/i\u003e is a revealing and surprising portrait of one of history's most celebrated figures.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJosh Ireland \u003c\/b\u003ehas written for the \u003ci\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eProspect\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSpectator, \u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e.
