Book Synopsis

The posthumous diagnosis of Winston Churchill as manic-depressive has been drawn entirely from biographical information, which, though significant to understanding his life and mind, has often been misused or misunderstood. This book investigates how such materials have been interpreted (and misinterpreted) in relation to Churchill''s mental health, taking a particularly close look at his association with nerves or neurasthenia. Included are appendices on Churchill''s remedies for worry and mental overstrain and an investigation of his mental state after losing the 1945 general election.
