and did he want you to be a booster of winston churchill? guest: well, stparpgs the first part -- as far as the first part of the question, this is 1999, 2000, i wouldn't bring up a subject like that. we would talk about the red sox. but he did mention that writer. and he didn't say anything to me about her not liking churchill or anything. he indiana offhand thought he was going to treat people of london as victims and he treated them like heroes. he never said paul don't forget i love churchill and you have to love chumrchill. he gave me no guidance. as soon as after i wrote the 50 or 60-page audition he was very illinois and then he died -- ill he died. he said you write and i will edit. my red pencils are sharp wanted and ready to go. they are still sharpened. host: what was the worst part of this whole experience for you? guest: well, i have been telling folks i'm just a block-headed enough boston irishman to not have had a worst part. i said i was going to get it done however it takes. i didn't worry that maybe the publisher is thinkin

somewhere after november of 1940 little winston was been. winston churchill the grandson. the marriage by then was already essentially over. the divorce finally came four or five years later. everyone in london knew in anyone 42 or 1943 or 1944 that the marriage was over. avril harriman came as a special envoy from f.d.r. and his walking orders from roosevelt were to find out everything that we can do for england short of going to war and get it to them. and randolph was, i think, in the egyptian desert on duty. was a brave soldier. and pamela and randolph and harriman met. they would have to at these weekend dinners that churchill had at checkers, the official home of the prime minister, because by then chartwell is in moth balls for the duration. host: where is chartwell? guest: in kent, 40 to 45 miles southeast of london, lovely green vistas and villages. and checker is also of that distance from london but not on the flight path of the german bombers. host: in 2010 winston churchill iii died of prostate cancer but in 1999 was here and we want to show you.

you know, when winston churchill was writing his great biography of his ancestors someone asked him how -- he said i am working on the fifth of a projected four volumes. i am not comparing myself to winston churchill but regard to the lyndon johnson biography we are in the same boat. i have been writing about lyndon johnson so long that people ask me don't you get bored? the answer is the very opposite is true. the one reason i don't think of these books as being about lyndon johnson just as i didn't think of the power brokers being about robert moses, i never had the slightest interest in writing the book just to tell the wife of a famous man. from the moment i first thought of doing books i thought of biographies, i thought of biographies as a way of examining the great forces that shape the times that they live-and particularly political power. why is political power so important? we live in a democracy so ultimately we have the power and the votes we carry to the ballot boxes and the more that we know about how political power really works, not as it is taught in textbooks and colle

winston, i'll ask you, as someone who is close with speaker gingrich and who mr.d some folks not too fond of him within his own conference. do you think john boehner has been held hostage by 20 or so members that will come out against him heavily if he backed anything that looked like a tax increase? >> first up, this is an unusual situation. we have a situation where you've got, you know, looming tax increases, obviously the significant cut to defense and now you've got geithner describing where the debt ceiling is about to come into play december 31st. so you've got a pressurized situation that quite frankly is going to require some time to think through. so, you know, inge everybody is engaged here. but the problems are pretty significant. going back to this, remember when the speaker did that vote, he got over 90% of his conference behind him. the dynamic that exited here was that the democrats said we're going to make this a party line vote. if you can get it over the finish line with just republican votes, great. but you're not going to have any of ours. i t
