Praise for “a seething record of human passions and frailties”

Congratulations to author and naval historian Barry Gough for the glowing Times Literary Supplement review of his book Churchill and Fisher: Titans at the Admiralty, edited by WCEA partner Audrey McClellan and published by Lorimer in 2017. 

“This enthralling book…is a work of profound scholarship and interpretation concerning two very remarkable figures of twentieth-century British history,” says reviewer Jan Morris, herself a prominent historian and author.

Above all, she continues, Churchill and Fisher is “a seething record of human passions and frailties—rivalries, resentments, regrets and reconciliations, all exemplified by the relationship between two towering champions of the human condition.”
