We visit the shop where Churchill bought his cigars in London, stop over the impressive country homes in Norfolk and Surrey, and join the crowds at impassioned political altercations in Belfast and Dundee. Each region is introduced with a historic map, bringing Britain as Churchill knew it to life. This tour of sites that made important contributions to the Churchill story pieces together a fresh, fascination picture of an extraordinary individual.
