Churchill & Son

Josh Ireland examines the bond between Winston Churchill and his only son, Randolph, a gifted, reckless journalist and politician who drank, gambled and quarreled his way through life under a father who adored and indulged him. Ireland follows Randolph's uncontested wartime election for Preston, his marriage to Pamela Digby and its collapse, and the bitter rows between father and son, and traces how Winston's own hunger for the approval of his father, Lord Randolph, shaped the way he raised his boy.
