An engaging and original account of 1921, a pivotal year for
Churchill that had a lasting impact on his political and personal
legacy "Important . . . Its power lies in a vivid re-creation not
only of Churchill's public roles but also his private life-of good
fortune but also family tragedy."-Paul Bew, Wall Street Journal
After the tragic consequences of his involvement in the
catastrophic Dardanelles Campaign of World War I, Churchill's
political career seemed over. He was widely regarded as little more
than a bombastic and unpredictable buccaneer until, in 1921, an
unexpected inheritance heralded a series of events that laid the
foundations for his future success. Renowned Churchill scholar
David Stafford delves into the statesman's life in 1921, the year
in which his political career revived. From his political
negotiations in the Anglo-Irish treaty that created the Irish Free
State to his tumultuous relationship with his "wild cousin" Clare
Sheridan, sculptor of Lenin and subject of an MI5 investigation,
this broad account explores the nuances of Churchill's private and
public lives. This is an engaging portrait of this overlooked yet
pivotal year in the great man's life.
