Winston Churchill the Photobiography

"Winston Churchill's parents were both well-known figures when he was born in 1874. Consequently, from the very beginning of his life until his death over 90 years later - by which time he was himself perhaps the most famous man in the world - he was continually in the public eye. With the popularization of photography in the late 19th century and its use in newspapers and magazines this meant that he was constantly photographed, and a pictorial record exists of his life like almost no other major figure in world history." "This photobiography, the first pictorial biography for over 30 years, contains many never-before-published images and shows the public and private face of Churchill. It graphically demonstrates his personal charm, vigour and often eccentricity, as well as the unique experience of a man who not only held nearly every senior office in British politics and knew Kaiser Wilhelm II, Stalin, Roosevelt and five British monarchs, but was also a celebrated historian and author, exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy and could count Albert Einstein, Aristotle Onassis and Charlie Chaplin amongst his friends."--BOOK JACKET.
