Moran, Lord1966
Books, Manuscripts
Lord Moran became Churchill's doctor in 1940, as the curtain was rising on one of the greatest dramas in our history. ... In this book, the author recounts how he faced up to and absorbed the strain not only of the War Years but also of the Post-war Years, when he was struggling against declining political influence and the accumulating handicaps of old age. The most essential gift of a biographer is to bring his characters to life, and this gift Lord Moran possesses in full measure. ... This is an epic story, and it will help to keep fresh in the memory of future generations a titanic figure who embodied the soul of a great nation.
