‘Absorbing…valuable insights’: FINANCIAL TIMES

FT Weekend reviewed No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money in its edition of 18 October 2015, under the headline Blood, toil tears and debt

The FT’s reviewer comments:

‘Previous reviewers have noted the poor finances of Churchill’s household. Probably noe, though, has examined every available bank account and merchant’s invoice with singular, forensic purpose of David Lough in No More Champagne. His dispassionate analysis tots up spending versus income, and he even helpfully provides currency exchange rates and inflation adjustments to provide a modern context.

Lough writes from experience. Formerly an investment banker, he founded a successful wealth-management firm. He can understand the vicissitudes of family fortunes.

… Churchill buffs and economic historians will find valuable insights in the light Lough sheds upon the man and his times.’
