Few fathers and sons can ever have been so close as Winston Churchill and his only son Randolph. Both showed brilliance, bravery, and generosity, but both were undermined by recklessness and overindulgence. Supporting his father during the "wilderness years" of the 1930s, Randolph became a war hero, but could never escape Winston's shadow and embark upon a political career of his own. With a cast that spans from Charlie Chaplin to P.G. Wodehouse and from the Mitfords to the Kennedys, Josh Ireland's dual biography is a multi-faceted look at a fascinating family.
