The lead up to war, Churchill's rise and fall and rise and fall. The deaths of friend's children, like the deaths of her friends in WWI a horrifying echo. Her favourite son's capture and the agony of a mother, the death of her son-in-law. I persevered through so much dullness for the nuggets of brilliance and history and fact. Now on to her third diary. Old age looms. ( ) no reviews | add a review
