One of the most iconic and endlessly fascinating
figures of the 20th century, Winston Churchill has been
the subject of any number of books, but none of them
have analyzed his lifestyle as a way to really
understand the man. This book features a vivid and
entertaining timeline of his public history, but also
focuses on the more personal, nonwork aspects of his
day-to-day life, covering topics such as autos, books,
cigars, dining, fashion, home, libations, and pastimes.
Churchill lived an extravagant life, but in reality did
not have much money. His ability to live well beyond his
means is a lesson that will intrigue many. Praise for
''Churchill Style'' ''Despite the hundreds of books
written on the wartime leader, there has been
surprisingly little compiled on his lifestyle. Barry
Singer--a writer, self-described Churchill fanatic and
proprietor of Manhattan's Chartwell Booksellers (which
touts itself as ''the world's only Winston Churchill
bookshop'')--has corrected the deficit.'' --''Wall
Street Journal''''There's a good deal to like about this
jaunty book . . . In brief, Churchill lived beyond his
means and appears to have enjoyed every minute of it.
''Churchill Style'' puts on display his resourcefulness
at doing it.'' --''Buffalo News'' ''Hundreds of books
have been written about Winston Churchill, most of which
focus on his military service and his leadership during
both World Wars, but none assess his personal style like
Barry Singer does in ''Churchill Style: The Art of Being
Winston Churchill.'''' --Cool Hunting.com'''''''' |
