Starred review from May 1, 2013
Stelzer, research associate at the Hudson Institute, provides readers with an enjoyable and original look at the often overlooked "table top diplomacy" of Sir Winston Churchill. A self-described man of "plain tastes," Churchill enjoyed excellent champagnes, wines, Cuban cigars, and first-rate food. While considered extravagant by the standards of today, the foods that Churchill enjoyed were not uncommon for those of his class during his early life. By drawing on extensive research and interviews, Stelzer leads the reader on a grand tour of some of the finest hotels, restaurants, estates, and political conferences (Yalta, Potsdam, the Savoy, the White House) with some of the most notable figures of World War II (FDR, Stalin, King George VI, Eisenhower). Narrator Davina Porter does a superb job with the accents and in conveying emotion. VERDICT Strongly recommended for those interested in Churchill, food, or history.--Scott R. DiMarco, Mansfield Univ. of Pennsylvania Lib.
