Winston Churchill Biographer and Creator 'The War of the Roses' Co-Author 'Target Churchill'

Warren Adler, best known for his masterpiece fictionalization of a macabre divorce, "The War of the Roses", and James C. Humes, Pulitzer Prize nominee for "Churchill: Speaker of the Century", have co-authored this historical novel set across three continents, vividly capturing Churchill's larger than life persona. According to Adler, "The post-war loss of Churchill may have damaged the Western world with the same impact as the post-civil war world was damaged by the loss of Lincoln."

Authentic historical characters including Stalin's "executioner" and secret police Chief Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, Soviet secret agent and member of the 'Cambridge Five' Donald Maclean, President Harry Truman and Churchill's legendary bodyguard Walter H. Thompson make up an intriguing cast of characters among others in "Target Churchill".

In recreating the event that changed the course of Western history, James C. Humes reminisced a 1953 meeting with Churchill himself who advised him, "Study history...in history lie all the secrets of statecraft," and added that, "If Churchill had been prevented from delivering his 'Iron Curtain' address, all Europe - not just its Eastern sphere - might have fallen prey to the tyranny of Communism."

Target Churchill is available in paperback and e-book formats on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iBooks, GoogleBooks, Kobo, Sony Reader and Vook at $9.95 (E-book) & $15.95 (Paperback).
