Review Quotes
Sunday Telegraph (UK)
"Dozens of exciting new discoveries about Churchill's paintings . . . . The discoveries include tracking down the locations of more than 40 pictures, many of which have been retitled, and casting further light on the great statesman."
The Connexion
"Something of an odyssey, walking in a giant’s footsteps in order to discover a lesser-known side of arguably one of the 20th century's greatest statesmen."
Randolph Churchill
"Rafferty has had an incredible voyage of discovery following Sir Winston's Great Easel across the most beautiful locations on the Riviera. This book will dazzle you like the Mediterranean."
Allen Packwood, director, Churchill Archives Centre
"This book is a rare treat, combining beautiful presentation with meticulous new research. By walking in Churchill's footsteps, Rafferty has been able to shed new light on Sir Winston's creative process."
Richard M. Langworth, CBE Senior Fellow, Hillsdale College Churchill Project
"Rafferty has vastly extended our knowledge of Sir Winston Churchill's favourite pastime by visiting and describing his actual Riviera venues as they are today. His expertise as fellow painter adds a special note of authenticity to this excellent book."
