The Lisle Letters consist of the personal, official, and business correspondence of the household of Arthur Plantagenet, Viscount Lisle, the illegitimate but acknowledged son of Edward IV, during the years 1533 to 1540 when he was Lord Deputy of Calais. These seven critical years in English history were marked by the rise, ascendency, and fall of Thomas Cromwell and the letters reflect the mixture of passion, terror, and politics that was the court of Henry VIII. They also present the everyday concerns of the Lisle household. No other source provides such an abundance of detail about daily life - marriage, child rearing, education, clothing, food, and furnishing. The Lisle Letters are the Tudor world in microcosm.

The Lisle Letters
I was starting to read Churchill's history of WWII and surprised by the breadth of his knowledge of warships, modern weapon systems and war tactics. I thought this book would answer those questions. Mr. Best has authored several books on Churchill. This one covers Churchill from his first experiences in the British military to the Cold War and his death in 1965.
I was not disappointed. Best uses dozens of sources, including Churchill's own writings, to present the man and how he came to be one of the best known military and political figures in the 20th century. Best also comments about Churchill's writings on WWI and WWII. He provides perspective to Churchill's works that is necessary to understand them.
This is an excellent book for the student of Churchill. It is well documented and researched. The narrative is about 300 pages and reads easily. If I revisit Churchill I'm likely to start with another book written by Mr. Best.
