The first two volumes were written by his son, Randolph S Churchill, and the remainder by Martin Gilbert, a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford. Each of the volumes of the biography has one or more 'companion volumes' which contain reproductions of documentary sources. After completing the official work, Gilbert wrote a single volume abridged biography: Gilbert, Churchill: A Life (William Heinemann Ltd, London 1991). Reference will also be made to the second volume of the official biography: Churchill, Young Statesman 1901- 1914, as well as its Companion Volume.
