Review �Working with Winston is a wonderful tour behind the scenes of history and its vignettes portray a very human and attractive man.� - Times (London)�Stelzer offers a unique and specific perspective by providing biographical profiles of the group of young women who played a great service to the British war effort by serving as secretaries and typists working closely with Churchill in his day-to-day preoccupations as he directed the war effort. It is truly a pleasure to meet these dedicated women and to herald the arrival of a new, worthwhile, lens-widening addition to the shelf of Churchill biographies.� - Booklist�Stelzer offers up a revealing behind-the-scenes view of Winston Churchill. Churchill devotees will delight in yet another view of the British leader.� - Publishers Weekly�They say that no man is a hero to his valet. The people who knew Winston Churchill most intimately outside his own family?his secretaries and personal assistants?did�think him a hero. Cita Stelzer explains why and floods fresh light on the man and his working practices.... A well-researched, well-written and hugely enjoyable book, which I highly recommend.� - Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking With Destiny�Cita Stelzer has found an intimate way to reveal the secrets of this great man's life with exceptional skill and flair, giving voice to the silent army the helped him to lead the nation.� - Sarah Baxter, Deputy Editor of the Sunday Times (London)�A sure bet for Churchill aficionados.

Out of their fascinating personal accounts emerges a brilliantly original and at times deeply touching account of Winston in all his multiple moods, colours and breath-taking accomplishment.� - Julia Boyd, author of Travelers in the Third Reich�That was what it was like working for Churchill, as Cita Stelzer�s glorious new book, weaving together first-hand recollections by his secretaries, shows. You'd be summoned to the Presence?and if it was the morning, he'd be sitting in bed in his brocade dressing-gown, lighting his cigar from a candle, with his cat as a hot-water bottle, all nine daily papers strewn over the eiderdown and a whisky and soda to take him through to lunchtime.� - Daily Mail�In his darkest hours Winston Churchill depended on his supporting cast: those who took down his words, managed his affairs, and provided the machinery to channel his prodigious energy to maximum effect. They were far more than secretaries, and Cita Stelzer has done us a great service in bringing them out of the shadows and putting them centre stage.� - Allen Packwood, Director of the Churchill Archives, Churchill College, Cambridge�An absorbing, intriguing, and utterly fascinating study of the women who supported Churchill during the most challenging of his endeavors, from leading?and inspiring?Britain and the west during WWII to writing innumerable speeches and books of enormous importance on the most consequential political, historical, and social issues of Churchill's time. A masterful work!� - General David Petraeus (US Army, Ret.), former commander of coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and US Central Command, and former Director of the CIA Read more About the Author Cita Stelzer received a BA degree from Barnard College with a major in history, worked in educational publishing, and has been a stringer for the Financial Times.
