In 1911 Walter Thompson saw a top-hated gentleman overseeing the infamous siege at Sidney Street in London's East End. In 1921 he became that man's bodyguard. In 1939 that same man was to recall him from retirement to protect him throughout the most dangerous time of his life. That man was Winston Churchill. During his first retirement, Thompson wrote about his experiences. Churchill's Bodyguard is based on the original manuscript, as well as drafts and copious notes. What emerges is a unique picture of Winston Churchill, in particular his many brushes with death, and an insight into a relationship that lasted more than twenty years and became a surprising friendship.
