Men I Have Known

Not a straightforward autobiography, Men I Have Known is a tribute to the variety, the skills and the different characters of the huge range of people Eileen Younghusband has come across during her long life enriched by travel and adventure but also coloured by more than its fair share of tragedy. Giving a unique, intimate and personal perspective on some of the most influential men of the twentieth century, as well as some hitherto unknown, Eileen writes about Winston Churchill, Rex Harrison, Dylan Thomas, members of NASA, musicians at Glyndebourne, actors, caterers, soldiers, politicians, and even Idi Amin!

This book is an extraordinary testament to a woman with an unbeatable appetite for life and – of course – to the men she has known.

Would appeal to fans of Sinclair McKay, Jennifer Worth and Virginia Nicholson.
