‘Astonishing revelations about Churchill in David Lough’s No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money (Head of Zeus). Churchill as financial risk-taker, spendthrift, debtor reckless gambler. This book makes you wholly rethink the received wisdom about about the icon…. There is rich ore still to be found in the best-mined seams.’
