    About this audiobook

    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.

    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.

      Thanks to the author for your research and writing this book. This story shows Churchill as a hard working servant of his people and the other sides of his petsonality. The struggles to maintain his family, worries about debt, the great deal of money he lost whether gambling or horse racing. In order to create this great world war 2 leader Churchill; one needs to embrace all of his parts. Thanks for writing an incredible tale of Britain most admired politicians.
