PositiveThe American Spectator... a thoughtful study of a father-son relationship during the storms that rocked the 20th century ... Josh Ireland here confronts his bittersweet Life with Father, adding fresh insights and thoughtful appraisals to our understanding of the great man and his offspring ... Ireland avoids...pat summations. With no apparent axe to grind, he limns the 45-year Winston–Randolph relationship, good, bad, and ugly. There are a few errors and skewed judgments that put an uneven gloss on events ... The prologue is brief, eloquent, and a good omen, but after the first two chapters of potted background I was ready to toss this book, with its superficial accounts ... What follows is increasingly good ... This is the best account one may read of Randolph’s rollicking political apogee.
