An account of the habit that solidified the image of one of the most impressive men of his time.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Winston Churchill went down in history as one of the most important statesmen of the 20th century. An example of strength and constancy, he piloted the free world to victory during World War II. When Hitler dominated the continent, gazing across the English Channel, Churchill stood alone and returned the gaze. Probably with a beautiful Cuban cigar between his fingers. During the conflict, Churchill's cigar was an unfailing symbol of the prime minister and, by extension, of the resistance itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eChurchill's Cigar\u003c\/i\u003e , journalist Stephen McGinty explores Churchill's relationship with tobacco. Drawing on archives and exclusive interviews with members of Churchill's family and staff, McGinty dissects the ruler's love of cigars and the solace they provided him. The author also delves into Churchill's enduring friendship with Antonio Giraudier, a Cuban businessman who, for years before fleeing Castro's revolution, fed Churchill's stash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The book also features curious stories, such as the fear of a possible attempt on Churchill's life through cigars—the British Intelligence Service, in partnership with the nation's most renowned scientists, tested the prime minister's supplies on rats to detect a possible risk of sabotage. Winston Churchill and his cigar became a global icon, immortalized in Australia by a cigar statue approximately four meters tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176294170876,"sku":"9788501082992","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/018fed5844384a043ed7af65bfd7f7ac.jpg?v=1778322465"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/stephen-mcginty.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
