"An intoxicating read. You'll want to consume it twice." -A.J.
Baime, New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental
President and Dewey Defeats Truman A fun little book packed with
historic Churchill information, drinking companions, locations, and
preferences, as well as plenty of cocktail recipes! Churchill was
seldom short of a witty remark, and made his views on drinking
quite well-known: "I have taken far more out of alcohol than
alcohol has taken out of me." When feeling down he said he felt
like "a bottle of champagne . . . left uncorked for the night." And
when encouraging a young government minister to indulge in another
drink, he promised, "Go ahead, I won't write it in my diary."
Divided into four sections-Drink Choices, Drinking Companions,
Drinking Spots, and Drink Recipes-this book will keep readers
turning the pages of fresh and fun material as they lift a drink
along with Winston. The book will also focus on the various
eras-from the 1910s through the 1960s-the times in which he was
drinking alone and with others. Working with the historic companies
that kept him refreshed, it will include vintage advertisements and
marketing material from their closely guarded archives. Winston
certainly drank with a colorful cast of characters, and you'll
glimpse those such as FDR, Stalin, Coco Chanel, Charlie Chaplin,
the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and various other kings, queens,
dukes, and duchesses. Among the elegant settings we will pop in and
out of for a drink include Hearst Castle, Chanel's house in the
South of France, the Ritz Hotel in Paris, the Dorchester in London,
Monaco, the Savoy, the Biltmore, and of course the bars and
first-class cabins of the famed ocean liners the Queen Elizabeth
and the Queen Mary. So raise a glass and join us in toasting
Churchill's life and unique abilities!
