A CKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Like all students of Churchill, I am deeply indebted to the scholarship of Sir Martin Gilbert. Sir Martin’s plate was already overflowing, so I am doubly grateful to him for the patience with which he offered suggestions to a fledgling author of whom many academics as distinguished as Sir Martin, if such there be, would have taken little notice.
Lady Williams, née Jane Portal, who worked with Churchill from 1949 to 1955, has shared some of her memories of the Prime Minister. Her friendship has become one of my most treasured results of writing this book. Andrew Roberts endorsed the idea for this book from the beginning and has been a staunch friend throughout the research and writing, providing encouragement that only a star historian can provide a neophyte writer. And he introduced me to my agent, Georgina Capel.
Without the encouragement and on-going guidance of Gertrude Himmelfarb and Stuart Proffitt I would not have undertaken this project. Without the help of many people I would not have been able to complete it. AlanPackwood and the staff at the Churchill Archives, to whom Churchill scholars across the world owe so much, were obliging in the extreme. Phil Reed, Director of the Churchill Museum and Cabinet War Rooms during most of the writing of this book, made many useful suggestions and provided wonderfully wide-ranging conversations. Hugh Lunghi, one of Churchill’s Russian-language interpreters during the war, shared many of his recollections with me in his most charming manner.
Graham Stewart contributed important suggestions for improving the text. Roger Moorhouse, an historian in his own right, was a most creative seeker of images, and helped with much-needed moral support and humour. Ray Wells of The Sunday Times
