Winston S. Churchill, grandson and namesake of Britain's wartime Prime Minister, is an author of five books. "First Journey" (Random House 1964) is an action-packed account of his flight piloting a singleengine aircraft 20,000 miles around the African continent.
Together with his late father, Randolph, he published the best-selling "Six Day Wae' in 1967, an account of Israel's lightning victory over her Arab neighbors.
In "Defending the West" (1981), Winston Churchill warned of the mortal threat posed by the Soviet Union, soon afterwards dubbed 'The Evil Empire" by President Reagan. In "Memories & Adventures' (1989), he records his memories of his famous grandfather and the adventures of his own youth as a war correspondent.
In "His Father's Son" (1997), he explores the relationship between Churchill and his only son, Randolph, a work acclaimed by The New York Times as "exceptional, readable, scholarly and well wriften.' Most recently, he published "The Great Republic - A History of America" (1 999), in which he brings together all of the writings of his grandfather, Sir Winston Churchill, on America.
Like his father and grandfather before him, Winston Churchill was for many years a journalist and war correspondent, reporting conflicts in Yemen, the Congo, Angola, Borneo, Vietnam, the Middle East and Biafra. While reporting from Vietnam for Look magazine and the British press, he shared the dangers faced by American servicemen in the field, taking part in combat missions with the United States Air Force.
He reported from Czechoslovakia in 1968, shortly before the Soviet tanks rolled in, and subsequently became Roving Foreign Correspondent for The Times of London.
Born in 1940, Mr. Churchill entered the British Parliament in 1970 as the youngest Conservative
Member of Parliament, winning a Northern industrial seat in Lancashire from the Labour Party. He served 27 years, and was appointed a Front-bench spokesman on Defence by Margaret Thatcher in 1976. He was for many years a member of the Defence Select Committee of the House of Commons until 1997, when he stood down as MP.
Winston Churchill has made numerous lecture tours of the United States and Canada over the past 30 years. His recreations include flying (he holds a U.S. Airline Transport Pilots License), tennis, sailing and skiing. He is a former captain of the Oxford University ski team, as well as of the British Parliamentary Ski Team.
He is married with four children. His wife, Luce, is a jewelry designer from Belgium.
