In preparation for the book, Roberts accessed newly open material previously unavailable to earlier writers. For example, the private <a href="/wiki/Diary" title="Diary">diary</a> kept by <a href="/wiki/King_George_VI" class="mw-redirect" title="King George VI">King George VI</a> during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> became as a resource given <a href="/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_II" class="mw-redirect" title="Queen Elizabeth II">Queen Elizabeth II</a>'s assent for its use for historical posterity.<sup id="cite_ref-tracy_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tracy-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Roberts describes Churchill's background and particularly notes the sadness that Churchill experienced as a child. Ignored by his active father and subject to an uncompassionate mother, Roberts writes, the young Churchill grows up in a general atmosphere of <a href="/wiki/Loneliness" title="Loneliness">loneliness</a>, despite his multiple attempts to write to his parents.<sup id="cite_ref-jewish_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jewish-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While born into an <a href="/wiki/Aristocracy" title="Aristocracy">aristocratic</a> family at <a href="/wiki/Blenheim_Palace" title="Blenheim Palace">Blenheim Palace</a>, the complex being built an illustrious <a href="/wiki/Duke" title="Duke">duke</a> ancestor, Churchill lamented missed opportunities and particularly felt pressured given his half-American and half-British parentage, with his mother and her relatives dismissed as crass upstarts. Roberts argues that the issues endured in Churchill's childhood endowed the statesman with a strong sense of <a href="/wiki/Personal_character" class="mw-redirect" title="Personal character">personal character</a> possibly unlikely to have come about were Churchill either all British or a complete American <a href="/wiki/Expatriate" title="Expatriate">expatriate</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-tracy_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tracy-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Serving in the <a href="/wiki/First_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="First World War">First World War</a> gave Churchill the opportunity to live out his taste for glory, according to Roberts. Churchill particularly wrote to <a href="/wiki/Margot_Asquith" title="Margot Asquith">Margot Asquith</a> in 1915 that he "would not be out of this glorious, delicious war for anything."<sup id="cite_ref-jewish_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jewish-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The statesmen's early life involves a variety of military and journalistic triumphs as well as certain misadventures in different nations such as <a href="/wiki/Cuba" title="Cuba">Cuba</a>, <a href="/wiki/India" title="India">India</a>, and <a href="/wiki/South_Africa" title="South Africa">South Africa</a>, Roberts writes, that leads Churchill into the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">British Parliament</a> at age twenty-five.<sup id="cite_ref-tracy_4-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tracy-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As an example of how Churchill's psychology became shaped by varied experiences, Roberts cites the experience of dealing with <a href="/wiki/Islamic_fundamentalist" class="mw-redirect" title="Islamic fundamentalist">Islamic fundamentalist</a> militants as a young soldier on India's northwest frontier as preparation to understand <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Fanaticism" title="Fanaticism">fanaticism</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-strauss_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-strauss-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As a young man, Churchill developed a particular type of <a href="/wiki/Personality" title="Personality">personality</a> involving a certain <a href="/wiki/Psychological_foresight" class="mw-redirect" title="Psychological foresight">psychological foresight</a> as well as an exaggerated sense of <a href="/wiki/Ideal_(ethics)" title="Ideal (ethics)">ideals</a> and general life purposes, according to Roberts. The author describes Churchill's <a href="/wiki/Photographic_memory" class="mw-redirect" title="Photographic memory">photographic memory</a> and notes that, while the statesman bemoaned the inability to achieve an advanced higher education, this allowed for Churchill to become a <a href="/wiki/Self-educated" class="mw-redirect" title="Self-educated">self-educated</a> master of the <a href="/wiki/English_language" title="English language">English language</a>, particularly works of <a href="/wiki/Poetry" title="Poetry">poetry</a>.
