Friends Author Series: An Evening with Andrew Morton, Author of Winston and the Windsors

An evening with New York Times-bestselling biographer Andrew Morton, who will discuss his new book Winston and the Windsors, a groundbreaking story of the riveting hot-and-cold relationship between the House of Windsor and Winston Churchill. Morton will present his book in conversation with actor and author, Ryan Brown. 

​

In Winston and the Windsors, Andrew Morton, a leading biographer and authority on celebrity, presents a meticulously researched joint biography of Winston Churchill and the House of Windsor. Throughout the course of his career and life, Churchill’s connection to the Windsors fluctuated wildly. At times, he was the royal family’s trusted confidant. At others, he was their leading antagonist. In exploring the complex dynamic between the two, Morton argues that, regardless of whether the attitudes of the royal family were warm or icy toward Churchill, their relationship was central to the twentieth-century history of the British monarchy.
