'There never was a Churchill from John of Marlborough down who had either morals or principles', so said Gladstone. From the First Duke of Marlborough - soldier of genius, restless empire-builder and cuckolder of Charles II - onwards, the Churchills have been politicians, gamblers and profligates, heroes and womanisers.
The Churchills is a richly layered portrait of an extraordinary set of men and women - grandly ambitious, regularly impecunious, impulsive, arrogant and brave. And towering above the Churchill clan is the figure of Winston - his failures and his triumphs shown in a new and revealing context - ultimately our 'greatest Briton'.
'Never ceases to amaze and entertain… an unputdownable family saga' - The Spectator
'A tremendous read, packing in more champagne, adultery, divorce and continental dalliances than any book I have read. Engrossing' - Stella Tillyard, Financial Times
4* review - Christopher Silvester , Daily Express

'one of the great pleasure of this biography is seeing the lesser-known characters take their place in history' - Sunday Express, 4*

- Anne Chisholm, Evening Standard
'Enthralling…written with considerable grace and style' - Kathryn Hughes, The Guardian
'… Lovell pens a lively account' - The Sunday Times
'The Churchills treads the tightrope between gossip and history, which is the source of its pleasure' - Frances Wilson, Daily Telegraph
'… if you're new to the subject, The Churchills won't let you down - and if you're an addict of the genre, it'll provide a perfectly competent summary' - A. N. Wilson, Reader's Digest
