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, Stelzer
draws on previously untapped 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.
