A biography of Edmund Murray, Winston Churchill's close friend and bodyguard in the final years of his life From September 1950, when Winston Churchill was leader of the Opposition, to his death in 1965, Edmund Murray was the statesman's constant attendant. Assigned by the Scotland Yard as the personal protector of Winston Churchill, he followed "the Boss" through the culmination of an unparalleled political career. Whether on business or for pleasure, from the casinos of Monte Carlo to the White House in Washington, DC, Edmund Murray accompanied Churchill on his travels. Over the years together they became more than just a policeman and a politician--they became firm friends. Here, Bill Murray, Edmund Murray's son, gives us a witty and candid account of his father's extraordinary life, both before and during his time with Churchill.
