This in-depth account of the legendary leaderâs ailments and their effects is a âtremendously important contribution to Churchillian studiesâ (Claremont Review of Books). Prominent physicians Allister Vale and John Scadding have written a meticulously researched and definitive account documenting all of Winston Churchillâs major illnesses, from an episode of childhood pneumonia in 1886 until his death in 1965. They have adopted a thorough approach in gaining access to numerous sources of medical information and have cited extensively from the clinical records of the distinguished physicians and surgeons invited to consult on Churchill during his many episodes of illness. These include not only objective clinical data, but also personal reflections by Churchillâs family, friends and political colleagues, resulting in a unique and fascinating study. |
