Follows the Churchills from their 1908 marriage through his stormy political career Here is yet another Churchill biography, aimed at the general reader. Hough has written several biographies of the Mountbattens and a number of military histories, several of them focused on Winston Churchill ( The Longest Battle: The War at Sea, 1939-45 , LJ 5/1/87; The Greatest Crusade: Roosevelt, Churchill, and the Naval Wars , LJ 1/86), and this story of the Prime Minister and his wife also leans more to military history than one might expect. Hough is indulgent in his treatment of Winston, but he does not like Clementine, though he sometimes has trouble finding reasons for his animus. Most of his intended audience would prefer Piers Brendon's Winston Churchill: A Biography ( LJ 9/15/84) or Mary Soames's biography of her mother, Clementine Churchill ( LJ 10/15/79). Not an essential purchase for most libraries. - Nancy C. Cridland, Indiana Univ. Libs., Bloomington Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
