Praise for Nursing Churchill:

'These letters are of genuine historical importance to anyone interested in Churchill and the Second World War. They provide a fascinating, and occasionally moving, account of wartime Britain. Supported by the fine scholarship of the author, this book reminds us of the good-nature and humanity of the Greatest Briton, even while he was under unimaginable stress and a life-threatening illness. I heartily recommend it.' Andrew Roberts, author of The Storm of War

'A very valuable and unique insight.' Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson M.P., author of The Churchill Factor

'A top quality, outstanding read, this well written book is historically accurate and enhanced by unique photographs.' Professor Allister Vale, expert on Churchill's illnesses

'This book provides a fascinating and intimate account of life in a leading London hospital at the height of the Second World War, including the wedding of our own parents. A thoroughly absorbing read.' David Suchet (actor) and John Suchet (former ITN News anchor, Classic FM presenter)
