Robert Schmuhl- Mr. Churchill in The White House
Scores of biographies have been written about Winston Churchill, yet none examine his frequent, sometimes furtive, trips to the White House, where he resided for weeks on end\u2014the (often unclothed) visitor who \u201cdropped out of the sky.\u201d \n\nDrawing on years of research, Robert Schmuhl not only contextualizes the days Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Dwight D. Eisenhower spent together, but also vividly portrays the individual characters, from Churchill himself\u2014a devoted fisherman who never stopped \u201cangling\u201d\u2014to a resentful Eleanor Roosevelt. MR. CHURCHILL IN THE WHITE HOUSE is an illuminating portrait of these spirited, even entertaining occasions which took on a new level of diplomatic significance and an insightful work for our own fractious times. It demonstrates just how influential a foreign leader can become in shaping American foreign policy. \n\nAbout the Author: \nRobert Schmuhl is the Walter H. Annenberg\u2013Edmund P. Joyce Chair Emeritus in American Studies and Journalism at the University of Notre Dame. He\u2019s the author or editor of fifteen books, including The Glory and the Burden about the US presidency.\n\n
