From memory there is a chapter analysing this book in Roy Foster's excellent 1980s biography of Lord Randolph, which I read about 25 years ago but do not presently have to hand. Churchill was writing at a time when he was in the process of crossing over to the Liberals, with free trade being the supposed catalyst. Again from memory, he exaggerated his father's "Liberal" sympathies, to the point to airbrushing out altogether his father's openness to protectionism when that was briefly fashionable in the mid-1880s.Paulturtle (talk) 03:27, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
