Opis

Churchill took a three-month vacation to North America in the summer and fall of 1929, a little known event in his long career. In the company of his son Randolph, his brother Jack and his nephew Johnny, the Churchills toured Canada and the U.S. Notable events include Churchill's meeting with important figures in politics, business, newspapers and entertainment (President Hoover, Prime Minister Mackenzie King, Bernard Baruch, William Randolph Hearst and Charlie Chaplin) as well as his visits to such natural landmarks as the Grand Canyon, Lake Louise, Niagara Falls, and Yosemite.
