Ireland explores an often unseen side of Winston Churchill: as a loving family man who doted on his children, none more so than Randolph, his only boy and Winston's anointed heir to the Churchill legacy. Throughout Winston's climb to greatness, father and son were inseparable. Captivated by Winston's power, bravery, and charisma, Randolph worshipped his father, and Winston obsessed over his son's future. But their story was complicated by money, class, and privilege, shaded with ambition, outsize expectations, resentments, and failures. -- adapted from jacket
