Hi Sandy--I love "In Search of Churchill", too! Sir Martin has wonderful stories to tell: not just of meeting people who knew and worked with Churchill, but he also shares a little of his own background. Some of these stories are very amusing. :)
Sir Martin and I have a very enjoyable email correspondence going. I learn more about him as a person every day. He's been kind enough to send me several of his books as 'author's gifts'. I hope someday to meet him in person.
