The indefatigable chronicler of Winston Churchill, official biographer Gilbert tracks Churchill's relationship to the U.S. This volume--at least the seventeenth Gilbert has published about Churchill--informs readers exactly when and where Churchill went on his 16 trips to the U.S., whom he met, and the business he transacted. Americans who met Churchill in Europe are placed into the same compositional framework.
