SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY
In most books it is impossible for a scholar to single out one source which towers above all others. In this case, however, it is not only possible; it is essential. The Official Biography of Winston Spencer Churchill, which has been in preparation, under the supervision of the Chartwell Trust, for eighteen years, is the definitive work on his life. Indeed, some documents, including those in the Royal Archives, Windsor Castle, are closed to other researchers until the official biography is complete.
Thus far the work—which has reached the year 1939—comprises eighteen volumes totaling 20,827 pages. And World War II is yet to come. At this writing, Martin Gilbert, the official biographer, has just completed a manuscript covering the years 1939 to 1941. It is, he says, as long as this volume of mine. In its entirety, the official work is grouped into five biographical volumes and thirteen companion volumes. The biographical works have been issued under five major headings:
Volume I: Youth, 1874–1900, by Randolph S. Churchill. Boston, 1966.
Volume II: Young Statesman, 1901–1914, by Randolph S. Churchill. Boston, 1967.
Volume III: The Challenge of War, 1914–1916, by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1971.
Volume IV: The Stricken World, 1916–1922, by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1975.
Volume V: The Prophet of Truth, 1922–1939, by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1977.
The companion volumes, 16,359 pages, are similarly grouped and consist of reproduced documents:
Companion Volume I, Part 1, 1874–1896, edited by Randolph S. Churchill. Boston, 1967.
Companion Volume I, Part 2, 1896–1900, edited by Randolph S. Churchill. Boston, 1967.
Companion Volume II, Part 1, 1901–1907, edited by Randolph S. Churchill. Boston, 1969.
Companion Volume II, Part 2, 1907–1911, edited by Randolph S. Churchill. Boston, 1969.
Companion Volume II, Part 3, 1911–1914, edited by Randolph S. Churchill. Boston, 1969.
Companion Volume III, Part 1, July 1914–April 1915, edited by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1973.
Companion Volume III, Part 2, May 1915–December 1916, edited by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1973.
Companion Volume IV, Part 1, January 1917–June 1919, edited by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1978.
Companion Volume IV, Part 2, July 1919–March 1921, edited by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1978.
Companion Volume IV, Part 3, April 1921–November 1922, edited by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1978.
Companion Volume V, Part 1, The Exchequer Years, 1922–1929, edited by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1981.
Companion Volume V, Part 2, The Wilderness Years, 1929–1935, edited by Martin Gilbert. Boston, 1981.
Companion Volume V, Part 3, 1936–1939, edited by Martin Gilbert. Forthcoming.
The liveliest biographer of Winston Churchill is Winston Churchill. He led a fascinating life, he knew it, and he exploited it. Like most journalists, he told his choicest stories over and over. He wrote no fewer than nine versions of his dramatic escape from the Boer prisoner-of-war camp in 1899. One, “How I Escaped from the Boers,” was published in the Johannesburg Standard and Diggers’ News on December 23, 1899. Three others appeared in the Morning Post, on December 27 and 28, 1899, and January 24, 1900. Later came “How I Escaped from Pretoria” (War Pictures, March 3, 1900), “My Escape from the Boers” (Strand, December 1923 and January 1924), “My Escape from Pretoria” (News of the World, February 10, 1935), “How I Escaped” (Sunday Chronicle, January 2, 1938), and the version in chapters 21 and 22 of his book A Roving Commission. This last account has appeared in several anthologies, and Churchill lectured on this feat innumerable times. There are no significant discrepancies among the many versions. He told this tale, and others, over and over simply because he had a family—and an expensive life-style—to support.
