Well into the twenty-first century, Winston Churchill continues to be the subject of scores of books. Biographers portray him as a soldier, statesman, writer, painter, and even a daredevil, but Robert Schmuhl, the noted author and journalist, may be the first to depict him as a demanding, indeed exhausting White House guest. Drawing on years of research, Schmuhl not only contextualizes the unprecedented time Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent together between 1941 and 1945, but he also depicts the individual figures involved: from Churchill himself to "General Ike," as he affectionately called Dwight D. Eisenhower, to Harry Truman, and not to mention the formidable Eleanor Roosevelt, who resented Churchill's presence in the White House and wanted him to occupy the nearby Blair House instead (which, predictably, he did not do).

Mr. Churchill in the White House presents a new perspective on the politician, war leader, and author through his intimate involvement with one Democratic and one Republican president during his two terms as prime minister. Indeed, Churchill had his own "Special Relationship" with these two presidents. Diaries, letters, government documents, and memoirs supply the archival foundation and color for each Churchill visit, providing a wholly novel perspective on one of history's most perplexing and many-faceted figures.

This book could have been edited better by reducing the amount of repetition and commentary. Several parts felt repetitive and tried to convey speculation with thin evidence. Overall, it was an interesting perspective with some new nuggets about Churchill. The narration was well annunciation, but terse and felt boring at times.

Some interesting parts, could have been a lot shorter

Unfortunately the narrator was instructed or chose to read this in the style of an AI chatbot. The complete lack of affect or emphasis makes it very hard to evaluate the content, which is a shame because it should be a fascinating subject for exploration. It seems very thoroughly researched, though.

Strange narration
