Overview

Perhaps no person knew Winston Churchill better than Walter H. Thompson. The tall, gaunt, hawkeyed bodyguard who appeared at Churchill's side in nearly every wartime newsreel kept detailed memoirs of his 18 years beside one of history's greatest figures. He also kept those thoughts private. Based on Thompson's recently discovered uncensored memoirs, Churchill's Bodyguard gives you a rare, personal glimpse of Churchill, as well as private thoughts about Adolf Hitler, Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin. Archival footage, precise re-enactments and Thompson's own words place you inside the skin of a working-class Scotland Yard detective who experienced the 20th-century's great events as both witness and participant.
