Re: Did Churchill have two names? Who is this Martin Gilbert character?***
The official biography was conceived on a grand scale by Churchill’s son, Randolph, and became even grander when Martin Gilbert was appointed to oversee it in 1968. Sir Martin expanded its scope to include every relevant piece of documentary evidence that could be found in any archive. Under his direction, the official biography reached its full eight volumes of narrative, and 17 of 23 volumes of The Churchill Documents[/I] were completed. Together they provide both a rich treasury and a massive resource, carefully indexed and annotated. In 2012, Sir Martin’s declining health required that he turn the project over to Larry P. Arnn, President of Hillsdale College.

It's great information for most, but I'm old school. I still like to hold
a book in my hands and turn the pages.

Gilbert is the quintessential Churchill scholar. Any modern work on Churchill includes references to Gilbert's research.
