There
never
was
a
Churchill
from
John
of
Marlborough
down
who
had
either
morals
or
principles',
so
said
Gladstone.
From
the
First
Duke
of
Marlborough
-
soldier
of
genius,
restless
empire-builder
and
cuckolder
of
Charles
II
-
onwards,
the
Churchills
have
been
politicians,
gamblers
and
profligates,
heroes
and
womanisers.The
Churchills
is
a
richly
layered
portrait
of
an
extraordinary
set
of
men
and
women
-
grandly
ambitious,
regularly
impecunious,
impulsive,
arrogant
and
brave.
And
towering
above
the
Churchill
clan
is
the
figure
of
Winston
-
his
failures
and
his
triumphs
shown
in
a
new
and
revealing
context
-
ultimately
our
'greatest Briton'.
