Get the Summary of Summary of Sonia Purnell's Kingmaker in 20 minutes. Pamela Churchill Harriman was a socialite, a seductress—and a formidable political force. In Kingmaker (2024), award-winning author Sonia Purnell uncovers the remarkable influence Pamela wielded behind closed doors for more than fifty years. During World War II, 20-year-old Pamela became a quiet asset to Britain. As Winston Churchill's daughter-in-law, she cultivated relationships with diplomats and military leaders to bolster American support for Britain. She was close to the Kennedys, helped revitalize the Democratic Party, and championed Bill Clinton’s rise. Her lovers included Fiat heir Gianni Agnelli, playboy Prince Aly Khan, legendary broadcaster Ed Murrow, and American diplomat Averell Harriman, whom she eventually married. As US ambassador to France, she was instrumental in bringing peace to Bosnia.
