NO MORE CHAMPAGNE: CHURCHILL AND HIS MONEY

Book ID/图书代码： 00530015B84018

English Summary/英文概要： The untold story of Winston Churchill’s precarious finances - and the most original and surprising book about Churchill to emerge for many years.

The popular image of Churchill - grandson of a duke, drinking champagne and smoking a cigar - conjures up a man of wealth and substance. The reality is that Britain’s most celebrated 20th-century statesman lived for most of his life on a financial cliff-edge. Only fragments of information about his finances, or their impact on his public life, have previously emerged.

With the help of unprecedented access to Churchill’s private records, David Lough creates the first fully researched narrative of Churchill’s private finances and business affairs. As he reveals the scale of Churchill’s financial risk-taking, combined with an ability to talk or write himself out of the tightest of corners, the links between the private man and public figure become clear.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书讲述了温斯顿•丘吉尔不为人知的财政情况，是多年来有关丘吉尔的最令人震惊的原创作品。

丘吉尔的大众形象——公爵的后代，喝着香槟，抽着雪茄——塑造了一个富有殷实的男人形象。而事实是，20世纪英国最著名的政客生活在贫困边缘。此前，有关他的财政情况以及对其公众生活所造成的影响等信息都是不完整的碎片。

作者有幸首次接触到了丘吉尔的私人档案，从而完整调查了丘吉尔的私人财政和商业情况。随着他不断揭开丘吉尔在财政方面所冒的风险，这个伟大政客的私人形象和公众形象之间的联系开始变得越来越清晰。（LYR）

Awards/获奖情况：这是一本非常精彩的图书，令我爱不释卷。其他作品都是间接地提到丘吉尔对金钱的担忧，而本书则对此做出了完整的描述，加深了读者对这一伟人的理解。他对个人事务的态度也反映出他在处理国家事务时的态度。

因为这本书，我更加喜欢丘吉尔了。

This is an outstanding book and one which I could not put down. Others have alluded to Churchill’s concerns about money but this book gives a complete picture and increases the understanding of the great man. His attitude to his personal affairs seems to mirror his approach to those of state.

Just published by Picador in US and Head of Zeus in UK.

Let’s hope another publisher takes No More Champagne. It’s a fresh look at Churchill, was short listed for a prize here, pioneered the genre of ‘financial biography’ and has sold in several countries.
