"An intoxicating read. You'll want to consume it twice. . . . We've all been asked the question: If you could have a drink with anyone, who would it be? Churchill should be high on anyone's list, and that's what this book is: a round of your favorite with the man himself, a deep dive into the life of the man where other biographies don't go." --A.J. Baime, New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental President and Dewey Defeats Truman "When Winston Churchill was fighting them on the beaches, he only surrendered to his favorite Champagne (and other punchy libations). Churchill's fave drinks and lots of fun anecdotes are yours in Churchill: A Drinking Life . This entertaining and, dare I say, bubbly book won't give you a hangover. Cheers to Churchill!" --Jack Ohman, Pulitzer Prizewinning Editorial Cartoonist, The Sacramento Bee

Synopsis
'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 colourful 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!, "Go Ahead, Have Another. I Won't Tell ..." Winston Churchill said those encouraging words to a young government minister who seemed reluctant to refill his glass at a dinner party. 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 then alcohol has taken out of me." Divided into four sections-Drink Choices, Drinking Companions, Drinking Spots, and Drink Recipes-this book introduces readers to all kinds of fresh and fun details about Churchill's life. Travel from the 1910s through the 1960s, when Churchill drank alone and with a colorful cast of characters, including FDR, Stalin, Coco Chanel, Charlie Chaplin, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and various other kings, queens, dukes, and duchesses. Pop in and out for a drink at some of Churchill's favorite haunts and elegant settings like Hearst Castle, Chanel's house in the South of France, the Ritz Hotel in Paris, the Dorchester in London, Monaco, the Savoy, and the Biltmore. You can even learn how to mix some of Churchill's favorite tipples and a few cocktails inspire by his life, then kick your feet up in a nice leather chair and enjoy one to two (or three) while you page through the contents of his remarkable story.

- a***9 (75)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI would DEFINITELY purchase from this seller again. Seller might want to add more pics and better description because there was a tear on the back dust jacket that wasn’t mentioned. Could’ve happened during shipping so I’m not holding it against the seller. I fixed with tape on the inside of jacket. No harm/no foul. The seller had a more than generous price for this book + free shipping. NO complaints. Hence, I would purchase from this seller again without hesitation.
