Resumo

Winston Churchill loved power so intensely and for so long, and was so grieved by its loss, that the question arises: What was the source of that love? This study finds it in his unhappy childhood, when he was denied the love of his parents, Lord and Lady Randolph Churchill. The psychological origins of the love of power argued by Alfred Adler and by Harold Lasswell are sustained in Churchill's case.
