Thank you for signing up for the ten-part audio series Churchill’s Other Lives by Sir David Cannadine.
Episode 7 – Money
Churchill’s finances were never comfortable. Despite being born in a palace, he had to work as a writer to fund his expensive lifestyle, and lack of money was a constant source of anxiety. He spent more than he earned for most of his life, gambled in Monte Carlo casinos and avoided selling Chartwell by the generous intervention of supporters. Historian Sir David Cannadine explores Churchill’s vexed relationship with money.
