IN the spring of 1893 Lord Randolph Churchill, feeling that he had slender expectations of long life, placed all his papers, private and official, under a trust-deed which consigned them at his death to the charge of two of his most intimate political friends, Viscount Curzon (now Earl Howe) and Mr. Ernest Beckett (now Lord Grimthorpe). As he made a practice of preserving almost every letter he received, the number of documents was sufficient to fill eleven considerable tin boxes. Subject to the conditions prescribed in the trust-deed in regard to matters affecting the India Office or the Foreign Office—which have, of course, been strictly observed—these papers were placed in my hands by my father’s literary executors in July 1902, for the purpose of my writing a full account of his life and work. I am deeply sensible of the confidence implied and of the honour conveyed in that commission, and during the three and a half years which have passed since I accepted it, I have diligently laboured—in spite of some political distractions—to discharge it to the best of my ability. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach (having consulted with the late Lord Salisbury) and Lord Rosebery have expressed the opinion that the story of Lord Randolph Churchill’s life may now be fully told without impropriety towards individuals or the public. Indeed, it is high time to do so. Lord Randolph’s part in national affairs is not to be measured by long years of office. No great legislation stands in his name upon the statute book. He was a Chancellor of the Exchequer without a Budget, a Leader of the House of Commons but for a single session, a victor without the spoils. No tangible or enduring records—unless it be the Burma province—exist of his labours, and the great and decisive force which he exerted upon the history of the Conservative and Unionist party might be imperfectly realised by a later generation, unless it were explained, asserted, and confirmed by the evidence of those who came in contact or collision with his imperious and vivifying personality.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook Lord Randolph Churchill has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

Audio Book Lord Randolph Churchill with FREE EASY Reading!

Winston Churchill's biography of the father he idolized is a fine example of his writing - colorful, detailed, brilliantly phrased, and full of insight, especially to those interested in British history of the late 19th century.Unfortunately, this edition of the book takes all the joy out of reading it. It is, as far as I can tell, a print-on-demand version made from a computer scan of the original two-volume text. In order to fit it into one rather thin volume (approx. 300 pages) it is printed in nearly unreadable 8-point type, which will strain all but the strongest eyes. Due to the vagaries of the scan/print process, there are random blank spaces spread here and there through the book, and dozens of places where the spaces between words are missing. Much of the text consists of quotations from letters written by Lord Randolph, but the computer reprint omits the indentations showing where these quotations begin and end, so that it is very difficult to tell where the Lord Randolph's letters end and Winston's text resumes. The original had numerous illustrations, including many cartoons from the British magazine Punch. These illustrations do not appear in this edition - but their captions remain, hanging by themselves in the middle of pages. And what the computer process has done to the potentially valuable index must be seen to be believed.I can strongly recommend the original book - both volumes - to anyone interested in Winston Churchill, his father, or the history of Britain in this fascinating period. But spend a bit more money and find a decent, readable edition. Don't waste your money or your time on this virtually unreadable mashup of an important historical work.
