New book about Churchill?

Does anyone know of a book about Churchill written by his valet or bodyguard or some such? My mother suggested I buy it for my father for Christmas, but she doesn't remember the author's name and the only title she could suggest has yielded nothing on Amazon.

I have a feeling it was reviewed, or the story was told, in the Sunday Times a few weeks ago.

Thanks.

Published by Headline, price £20, or available from Sunday Times BooksFirst, price £18, including p&p, tel: 0870 165 8585. Churchill's Bodyguard, a 13-part Nugus/Martin Production series, begins on November 21 on UKTV History

Thank you that is great. It has at least given me the correct title of the book and author's name, but unfortunately Amazon can't deliver it in time for Christmas.

Anyone know of any other online stockists?

At least, the book I wanted wasn't the one you mentioned, I have just realised. I am after "Beside the Bulldog" by Walter Thompson, rather than the biography of Thompson himself, but your information led me to that, so thanks.
