And let me start with an Amazon link to that book, a true picture of a great woman: Clementine Churchill: The Biography of a Marriage. The burning of the Sutherland, presented by Parliament on Churchill’s 80th birthday in 1954-was reported in 1979 by Lady Soames in her biography, Clementine Churchill. I felt the same during the media kerfuffle over this book’s “revelation” that Clementine Churchill destroyed the infamous Sutherland painting of her husband. One of the few times I ever saw Sir Martin Gilbert upset was when an author “discovered” that Churchill employed a ghost writer to draft a few articles-a fact Sir Martin himself had revealed thirty years earlier. Winston Churchill (UK title: First Lady: The Life and Wars of Clementine Churchill), by Sonia Purnell.
