A book which reveals the importance of dinners to Winston Churchill, and looks at ten of the key ones over which he presided during WWII. More than just good food and wine, for over 70 years the dinner table became a stage for his own brilliant conversational talents, an intimate world in which both gossip and diplomatic secrets could be shared. With original menus, seating plans and unpublished photographs, this is a sumptuous and fascinating feast. *Also appeared in February Buyer's Notes*
