A light-hearted look at royal life during the beginning of Queen Elizabeth the Second’s reign and the final days of Churchill’s prime ministership. How did two people from two different generations come to be such good friends?

This relatable Churchill-Queen Elizabeth II book talks to the listener instead of lecturing them. The moment you become immersed in the first chapters, you are transported back to what it must have felt like for a young queen to suddenly lose her father and have the elderly Churchill step in to guide, assist, and comfort her, and also tell a great many jokes along the way!

There is a reason why Sir Winston Churchill consistently tops the lists of greatest human beings of all time, and every time it happens it must warm Queen Elizabeth’s heart. Despite the 52 year age gap, the monarch and possibly the best Prime Minister Britain will ever have cemented a friendship of a lifetime as they continued to bring the United Kingdom out of its post-war slump.

This book is not for history buffs, although it is historically accurate; it’s a book about friendship and how these two famous people found so much about which to talk and laugh about (with the occasional disagreement thrown in for good measure).

The more you learn about Churchill and the Queen’s many interactions through the years, the more it is easy to see why theirs was not an unlikely friendship at all.

With dozens of interesting facts and never-before-noticed details and observations, not only is this book hard to put down and easy to understand, but it also offers the listener a tiny glimpse into royal and parliamentary life in a post-World War Britain.

Finally, a history book about two fascinating people for fans of friendship everywhere!

A brief but surprisingly comprehensive look at the relationship between QEII and Churchill. The photos in the Kindle version are not the typical ones and show what looks like true affection and respect between the monarch and her PM.

Found this less than enlightening. Would be appropriate for someone who doesn’t/hasn’t read newspapers or global history. I was hopeful, but dismally disappointed that I might hear antidotes that were well researched & haven’t been repeated numerous times.

Nothing new
