More Praise for The Churchills
This book is more a human story than plain history.... [Lovell] has done an admirable job in weaving [the Churchills stories] all together to create a splendid saga.
Country Life
Intelligent and well-written.... The Churchills provides a vivid introduction to the family of English aristocrats whose nation-preserving achievements stretch from the Battle of Blenheim to the Battle of Britain and beyond.
Wendy Smith, Los Angeles Times
Meticulously detailed.... The book is eminently readable.
Walter Olson, New York Times Book Review
An absorbing good read even for folks who dont typically indulge in history.
Library Journal
Mary S. Lovell does not stint on any of the juicy details in her gossipy new chronicle, even hashing out the evidence for Lord Randolphs affliction.... The Churchills: In Love and War breezes along at an undemanding pace.... [Lovells] passages on [Winston and Clementines] union are refreshing, even touching, and humanize the gruff warrior who lived to fight.
Matthew Price, Boston Sunday Globe
