No More Champagne

Sobre el libro No More Champagne de David Lough publicado por Zeus al 2015:

The untold story of Winston Churchill´s precarious finances - and the most original and surprising book about Churchill to emerge for many years. The popular image of Churchill - grandson of a duke, drinking champagne and smoking a cigar - conjures up a man of wealth and substance. The reality is that Britain´s most celebrated 20th-century statesman lived for most of his life on a financial cliff-edge. Only fragments of information about his finances, or their impact on his public life, have previously emerged. With the help of unprecedented access to Churchill´s private records, David Lough creates the first fully researched narrative of Churchill´s private finances and business affairs. As he reveals the scale of Churchill´s financial risk-taking, combined with an ability to talk or write himself out of the tightest of corners, the links between the private man and public figure become clear.
