Excerpt from Winston Churchill: A BiographyIt is a classic example of tradition. And yet it was really only Sir Winston's son who founded the tradition Of the house. John Churchill, the greatest Of England's soldiers, became the First Duke Of Marlborough. Queen Anne presented him with Blen heim Palace, the estate Of Woodstock, and a dukedom. In private life the glorious general came to be a paterfamilias so thrifty that all over the country people called him' the meanest man in England.While still Marquess Of Blandford, the seventh Duke Of Marl borough married the Lady Frances Anne Emily Vane, eldest daughter Of the third Marquess of Londonderry. We must not completely pass over the family chronicle. Grandpapa was the first unforgettable impression in little Winston's life. And the noble relationships and intermarriages must be clearly before our eyes if we are to understand the full meaning Of Winston Churchill's revolt against his class and then his half-hearted return to the Conservative house Of his fathers - undoubtedly the most important two events, psychologically, in his life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
