Description
Winston Churchill's financial life has long been shrouded in mystery, with the popular image of a wealthy statesman at odds with the reality of a life lived on a financial cliff-edge. This book offers a fresh perspective on Churchill's private finances and business affairs, revealing the scale of his financial risk-taking and the ways in which he navigated the tightest of financial corners. Through unprecedented access to Churchill's private records, David Lough creates a fully researched narrative of Churchill's financial history, shedding light on the links between the private man and public figure. The result is a compelling story of one of history's most fascinating figures, and a unique insight into the life of a leader who was as skilled at talking his way out of trouble as he was at taking risks with his finances.
