Winston Churchill had a daughter-in-law. Her name was Pamela Digby.
It is September of 1939, and there is war between London and Berlin.
Randolph Churchill, son of the man who is now at the Admiralty and will one day be a very famous prime minister, goes to dinner with a young woman named Pamela Digby, who is 19 years old.
Randolph Churchill says, “Will you marry me?” having never met her before. We learn later that he's asked a number of young women to marry him because he, along with the rest of his generation, is going off to war to die, just the way their fathers did in the first war. The surprise is, Pamela Digby says yes.
I welcome Sonia Purnell, the author of Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman’s Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue.
It's a scene like no other—Hollywood wouldn't dare make up such a scene. Who is Randolph Churchill at this time? Who is Pamela Digby? And what is the result of their impetuous decision?
