Nineteen-fifty-three is synonymous in the British memory with the
coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June. But less well known is
what happened in 10 Downing Street on 23 June. With Anthony Eden
vying for power, the elderly Prime Minister, Winston Churchill,
must maintain the confidence of his government, the press and the
public. But after a diplomatic dinner in which he is on typically
sparkling form, Churchill's Italian dining companions are rushed
out of the building and his doctor called. The Prime Minister has
had a stroke. Churchill is bedbound throughout the summer, and
while secrecy agreements have been struck with leading newspaper
barons, the potential impact of his health on public life is never
far from the minds of his inner circle. With the help of a devoted
young nurse and his indomitable wife, Clementine, Churchill
gradually recoups his health. But will he be fit enough to
represent Britain on the world stage?
