Dinner with Churchill

Policy-Making at the Dinner Table

By: Cita Stelzer

Narrated by: Davina Porter

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.

Charming

Great retelling of the habits of an extraordinary man as they relate to the finer things…food, booze and cigars. Enjoy!

An interesting quick look at WSC’s use of food

This was well done, it captured a whole lot of different aspects of his life. If you enjoy all things Churchhill, you will enjoy this.
