This book to me seems very good, and I’ve learnt quite a bit I hadn’t known before, credit to the two authors Kluger and Evans for a very well researched book. Would I recommend this book? Yes, if you want to learn about the personalities involved it’s a really good book. 5 stars Read the full review [link=http://ukhistorianbendavidson.co.uk/roosevelt-and-churchill-the-atlantic-charter/]here[/link]

[b]Review by John Johnston[/b] Sutherland and Canwell give due prominence to the bravery and fortitude shown by the officers and men of the RNPS. The latter part of the book contains an index of vessels lost and the medal roll of honour that will gratify genealogists and researchers of family history, while students of military technology will find the operations of wooden hulled motor yachts and the armed trawlers have lessons for those of minesweepers and offshore patrol vessels today. The general reader, however, will be engrossed by this fascinating and compelling story of a strange and little known part of the war at sea.

This is a relationship I knew little to nothing about. It was incredibly informative and I think this will definitively do well in the historical circles, especially those like me who enjoy Churchill books.

In this meticulously researched volume, Allister Vale and John Scadding provide a uniquely comprehensive and readable account of Churchill’s many medical problems, from childhood to his terminal illness, set in the context of his life as one of the greatest statesmen of the twentieth century. Pneumonia threatened Churchill’s life on several occasions and in his later decades he suffered multiple strokes; his ability to continue in high office during these illnesses was exceptional, aided by some of the most distinguished specialists of their time. Drawing on many medical and non-medical sources, the clinical, political and personal aspects of his many illnesses are woven seamlessly together. A superbly rounded account of the great man emerges in a most engaging narrative.
Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill, Walking with Destiny

The book is a very agile and pleasant biography that describes the life of a great sailor, perhaps finding himself in the right places but at the wrong time, but who did not progress very psychologically and strategically in understanding the military situations in which he found himself. It should be acknowledged that he remained himself to the end and that it deserves to be remembered and celebrated.
