序言这本小传记起初是为《牛津英国名人传记大辞典》写的，我希望对那些想对一个长久而复杂的话题寻求简明扼要介绍的人来说，它能提供一定的帮助。我自己对丘吉尔的好奇心由来已久．可以追溯到我刚从事历史研究的时候。那是1964年，当时我的研究领域是二战中的英国。当时。我手头有丘吉尔的六卷战争回忆录，但回顾过去。我惊讶地发现对于丘吉尔后半生的生活我却知之甚少。幸运的是，我的导师A．J．P．泰勒是个出色的历史学家，他的谈话有种能使过去比现在更让人感到真实的神奇效果。由于书面材料的缺乏。他的洞察力也显得更加宝贵。对20世纪英国历史的研究刚刚开始，但接着“50年”的统治限制了官方文件的发布，当时丘吉尔仍然健在，他的文件内容也成为高度机密。

Sir WJinslon Leonard Spencer Churchill(1874-1965), prime minister, was born at Blenheim Palace,Oxfordshire, the family home of the dukes of Marlbor-ough, on 30 November 5874. His father, Lord RandolphHenry Spencer Churchill 0849-1895), was the third sonof the seventh duke and a descendant of John Churchill,first duke of Marlborough, Queen Anne's commander-in-chief during the War of the Spanish SuccessionS. His mother,Jeanette (Jennie) Churchill (1854-1921), was the daughterof Leonard Jerome, a New York financier whose ancestorshad fought against the British in the American War of Inde-pendence. According to a Jerome family tradition acceptedby Churchill himself, Jennie's mother, Clara, was of Iroquoisdescent, but proof is lacking.Sehooldays: flouting the rulesJennie and Lord Randolph were married at the Britishembassy in Paris on 15 April 1874. Winston Churchill's dateof birth has given rise to speculation that he was conceived before the wedding, but the only certainty is that he wasborn prematurely. Preparations were made for the birth totake place in London, but after slipping and falling duringa visit to Blenheim Jennie went into labour, the local doctorwas summoned, and the baby was delivered at 1.30 a.m. on30 November.When the seventh duke was appointed viceroy of Ireland inJanuary 1877, the Churchills moved to Dublin. Winston wasaccompanied by his nanny, Mrs Elizabeth Everest, who tookhim for walks in Phoenix Park and warned him against agroup of evil men known as Fenians. Shortly after the birthof his brother John Strange Spencer (Jack) Churchill (1880-1947) in February 1880, the family returned to London,where Winston began to build up an impressive collectionof toy soldiers in the nursery. At eight he was sent to aboarding-school at Ascot where the headmaster took a plea-sure in flogging the boys until their bottoms ran with blood.Winston performed well in some subiecta but his reportsoften referred to his unruly behaviour.
