New Criterion predicts No More Champagne to become a classic
American magazine The New Criterion has hailed David Lough’s No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money as a potential ‘classic’ that ‘will transform the way in which Churchill is interpreted and understood’.
The reviewer, the well-known monetary economist and writer Professor Timothy Congdon, writes:
‘Lough deserves high praise for bringing together disparate sources of information and making sense of them, and so providing the first integrated account of this important aspect of Churchill’s life. He also organises the material in an easy-to-understand way and writes beautifully. The book reads as effortlessly as a novel, although in truth if it had been sent to a publisher as a work of fiction or even as a historical romance it would have been rejected on grounds of total implausibility.’
