Here Churchill finalizes a suggestion he had made years earlier. In any case I do not want anything to be published until at least five years after my death. I would not like to release my papers piece-meal, and I think that you should wait for the time being and then get all your material from my own Archives and from the Trust. But I must ask you to defer this until after my death. I think that your biography of Derby 1 is a remarkable work, and I should be happy that you should write my official biography when the time comes. One will find in this volume a letter that Churchill wrote to his son Randolph in 1960: It is the last step in a journey that began over half a century ago, but prepared for decades earlier. Together with the narrative texts, the work comprises thirty-one volumes in all. Never Flinch, Never Weary, 1951-1965 is the twenty-third volume of documents in the official biography of Winston Churchill.
