問題詳情:
Historians already know that Winston Churchill often took high-risk gambles(賭博)in his political life . But that Churchill was a gambler in 41 aspects of his life has tended not to catch his biographers’ 42 .
Two new books attempt to fill this 43 .
The first is No More Champagne written by David Lough , a private-banker-turned-historian who looks at Churchill’s personal 44 during the ups and downs of his career . It is the first 45 to focus on this aspect of his life .
Mr. Lough has 46 through Churchill’s personal accounts and found that he was as much a 47 when it came to his money as he was when he was 48 at the Admiralty or in Downing Street .
49 Churchill was a descendant(後裔)of the Dukes of Marlborough , his 50 had “ very little money on either side ” – but that never 51 them living the 52 life . Indeed , between 1908 and 1914 the Churchill household spent an average of £1,160 on wine 53 each year--$145,000 in today’s money . It is no 54 that Churchill spent most of his life leaping from one cash flow crisis to another , being constantly behind his suppliers’ 55 .
Another new book , Winston Churchill Reporting , by Simon Read , an American journalist , looks at one of the 56 Churchill eventually paid some of them : 57 .
Mr. Read investigates how Churchill went from a young army officer to being Britain’s highest-earning war journalist by the age of 25 .
The Churchill name 58 helped open newspaper editors’ doors across London . But it was that the young 59 was willing to take risks on 60 across the world that marked out his columns from those of his contemporaries .
