From April 1921-November 1922, the time period covered by this volume, national affairs in Great Britain were dominated by the search for peace and reconciliation in Ireland, the establishment of a Jewish National Home in Palestine, the intensification of conflict with Turkey, and the political crisis that ended the peacetime coalition and Winston Churchill's own ministerial career. Personal tragedy and hardship also befell Churchill: the death of his mother and of his young daughter Marigold.
Covering every aspect of Churchill's life when he was successively Secretary of State for War and Secretary of State for the Colonies, Sir Martin Gilbert takes the reader on a fascinating journey, covering a wide range of domestic and international affairs. Churchill's vivid personality is evident as each event unfolds-traced through private letters and secret Cabinet records. Sir Martin's explanatory notes, never obtrusive, illuminate both the individuals and events during this tumultuous period.
In the writing of the official biography of Sir Winston Churchill, Randolph Churchill-and later Sir Martin Gilbert, who resumed the work following Randolph's death-had full access to Sir Winston's letters and papers, and also many hundreds of private archives. The work spans eight volumes, detailing Churchill's youth and early adventures in South Africa and India, his early career, and his more than fifty years on the world stage. No other statesman of modern times-or indeed of any age-has left such a wealth of personal letters, such a rich store of private and public documentation, and such vivid memories in the minds of those who worked closest to him. Through these materials, assembled over the course of more than twenty years, one is able to know Churchill in a way never before possible. Churchill's personal papers are so extensive that it was only possible to include in the narrative volumes a part of the relevant documents. The volumes titled The Churchill Documents run parallel with the narrative volumes, and with them form a whole. The letters, documents, and correspondence contained within are drawn from the Churchill Papers, now at Churchill College, Cambridge, and from many other archival sources, both private and public.
