‘This book brilliantly illuminates one of the few unexplored aspects of Winston Churchill’s life – his private finances. In these fascinating pages, Churchill emerges as extravagant in every way, especially in his addiction to risk.’
Piers Brendon, former Keeper of the Churchill Archives Centre
‘Churchill made history. He also made money – and spent it. This fascinating piece of historical accountancy goes through the books and opens up new insights into the life and lifestyle of Britain’s most famous 20th-century leader’.
David Reynolds, author of In Command of History
‘David Lough’s minutely researched and richly enjoyable study reveals Churchill’s political career and private financial dealings are united by a common thread of exceptional risk-taking and extraordinary recklessness.’
Paul Mason, Economics Editor, Channel 4 News
