"A delightful and delicious tribute to Churchill's heroic appetite
for wining, dining and politicking" - Ben Macintyre, author of
Operation Mincemeat. A friend once said of Churchill "He is a man
of simple tastes; he is quite easily satisfied with the best of
everything." But dinners for Churchill were about more than good
food, excellent champagnes and Havana cigars. "Everything" included
the opportunity to use the dinner table both as a stage on which to
display his brilliant conversational talents, and an intimate
setting in which to glean gossip and diplomatic insights, and to
argue for the many policies he espoused over a long life. In this
riveting, informative and entertaining book Cita Stelzer draws on
previously untapped archival material, diaries of guests, and a
wide variety of other sources to tell of some of the key dinners at
which Churchill presided before, during and after World War II -
including the important conferences at which he used his
considerable skills to attempt to persuade his allies, Franklin
Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin, to fight the war according to his
strategic vision. With fascinating new insights into the food he
ate, the champagnes he loved, as well as original menus, seating
plans and unpublished photographs, Dinner with Churchill is a
sumptuous treat. The next best thing to being there yourself.
