Winston Churchill remains one of the most famous figures in modern history.



But if you had asked about Churchill in the late nineteenth century, another political giant would come to mind, one almost entirely forgotten today. Like Winston, he had the ability to coin a memorable phrase and make a great speech; like Winston, he was also a mercurial opportunist with a fondness for drink who delighted in irritating his more genteel colleagues.



Lord Randolph Churchill, Winston's father, had all of his son's gifts, perhaps even more; but on the few occasions when history remembers him at all, it is as a tragic figure who died early and never quite fulfilled his vast potential.



So, what if?



In "Fight and Be Right", Ed Thomas explores the other Churchill as he shatters the British party system, causes shockwaves in Europe, and brings about a very different 20th century...



Reviews



  • “Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.”


  • “Portraying an alternate society in such a convincing and fascinating a way - recognisably Britain, but recognisably not ours - is a much more difficult exercise than lists of dates and events, and the results are spectacular.”


  • “Utterly believable…”


  • “A masterpiece… entertaining, fun to read and filled with fascinating details that paint the 19th century in a light most of us could not have imagined.”
