Reviews
[Mary Churchill's War] is both a historic record of wartime Britain and an unabashed love letter to her father. The voice that comes through is uncensored, ebullient, and guileless...Emma Soames, one of Mary's five children, has done an excellent job of editing the diaries. She is correct when she says reading them is like 'eavesdropping on history.', Mary's diaries are a remarkably generous gift to posterity. Even though she was only sixteen when she began the diaries, she knew she had a front row seat to some of the most important events in history. This is not a book to devour, but one to relish. The language is fresh and lively, and some of her nuggets of wisdom may be useful even today: 'It strengthens in my mind that one should expect & hope & pray for very little--except courage.'

Synopsis
A unique and evocative portrait of World War II--and a charming coming-of-age story--from the private diaries of Winston Churchill's youngest daughter, Mary. "I am not a great or important personage, but this will be the diary of an ordinary person's life in war time. Though I may never live to read it again, perhaps it may not prove altogether uninteresting as a record of my life." In 1939, seventeen-year-old Mary found herself in an extraordinary position at an extraordinary time: it was the outbreak of World War II and her father, Winston Churchill, had been appointed First Lord of the Admiralty; within months he would become prime minister. The young Mary Churchill was uniquely placed to observe this remarkable historical moment, and her diaries--most of which have never been published until now--provide an immediate view of the great events of the war, as well as exchanges and intimate moments with her father. But these diaries also capture what it was like to be a young woman during wartime. An impulsive and spirited writer, full of coming-of-age self-consciousness and joie de vivre , Mary's diaries are untrammeled by self-censorship or nostalgia. From aid raid sirens at 10 Downing Street to seeing action with the women's branch of the British Army, from cocktail parties with presidents and royals to accompanying her father on key diplomatic trips, Mary's wartime diaries are full of color, rich in historical insight, and a charming and intimate portrait of life alongside Winston Churchill during a key moment of the twentieth century.

- 9***9 (242)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufItem was late and had a 30% off Target sticker on the cover which was not pictured. It left a permanent ripple on the product when removed, so the item does not appear new even though I'm sure that it is. The book itself is an excellent product and the packaging was durable and professional. Seller should have disclosed the presence of the sticker and may want to update their shipping estimates since they are using a third party to ship. I still gave it 4 stars, though, because the book is great
