The first volume of this authoritative biography chronicles the prime minister’s youth from birth to early adulthood: “An intimate, eloquent testimonial” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).   Winston S. Churchill’s son, Randolph, delivers a vivid, personal portrait of his father in this first part of an eight-volume biography that is widely considered the “most scholarly study of Churchill in war and peace ever written” (The New York Times). Told through a rich treasure trove of the Churchill’s personal letters, this volume covers his life from early childhood to his return to England from an American lecture tour, on the day of Queen Victoria’s funeral in 1900, in order to embark on his political career.   In the opening pages, the account of his birth in 1874 is presented through letters of his family. The subject comes on the scene with his own words in a letter to his mother, written when he was seven. His later letters, as a child, as a schoolboy at Harrow, as a cadet at Sandhurst, and as a subaltern in India, show the development of his mind and character, his ambition and awakening interests, which were to merge into a unique genius destined for world leadership.   An astounding narrative of a formidable man coming into his own and the times in which he lived, this portrait is a “milestone, a monument, a magisterial achievement . . . rightly regarded as the most comprehensive life ever written of any age.” (Andrew Roberts, historian and author of The Storm of War).

This biography of Churchill is written by his son and covers several volumes. This first volume covers Churchill's youth.They style is basically where the author takes excerpts from letters written to or from or about Churchill and fills in explanatory material in between. As a result, you get a good feel of what was written about Churchill from his contemporaries and what he personally felt. It is not a style that everyone will like, but gives us a good feel for the source material that historians generally work with. This is why so many volumes were needed to write his life history.I was struck by how ordinary of a boy that he was. He didn't really show much potential until after his father died. He also had what was probably a typical childhood of an upper class Briton, where he was sent away to school at a young age and raised by a Nanny. He did not have much interaction with his parents. It was heart rending to see so many letters addressed to his parents begging them to come visit him or even come to major events in his school life.After his Father's death he changed radically in that his ambitions and talents grew exponentially. He wanted to be a great parliamentarian and thought the path was to obtain glory in war. He effectively used his mother's connections to receive dangerous assignments and used his writing skills to become a war correspondent when he could not get the military assignments he wanted.This was a fascinating volume and I will continue with the subsequent volumes.
