When Winston Churchill caught severe pneumonia in 1943, Doris Miles was there to nurse him back to health. She was also writing regular letters to her husband about what she was doing for Churchill, with humour, intelligence and much acute insight. These letters are of genuine historical importance to anyone interested in Churchill and the Second World War. They also provide a fascinating and occasionally moving account of wartime Britain by one of its 'angels'. 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. The Honourable Emma Soames provides a foreword.
