<span class="sbi-screenreader">This autumn brings a fascinating duo of books delv</span> <img src="https://winstonchurchill.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="This autumn brings a fascinating duo of books delving into Winston Churchill’s 1930s wilderness years. "Churchill’s Citadel: Chartwell and the Gatherings Before the Storm" by Katherine Carter, focuses on how Chartwell, Churchill's beloved home, served as the strategic hub against the rising Nazi threat. Carter, Chartwell's curator, uses the home's guestbook to weave a narrative that places Chartwell at the centre of Churchill’s political efforts during the 1930s. "Winston’s Bandits: Churchill and His Maverick Friends" by Adrian Phillips, offers a detailed exploration of the influential yet eccentric group of men—dubbed Churchill's 'mavericks'—who were instrumental during these critical years. Phillips provides an insightful look into their unconventional tactics and the crucial intelligence they gathered. Reviewed by David Lough in our latest ICS Bulletin, these books unveil the intricate details of Churchill’s life and the influential figures around him. Both books present unique yet complementary views of a pivotal decade in Churchill's life and are essential reads for anyone interested in the complexities of historical leadership. Dive deeper into these riveting accounts of political strategy, personal resolve, and the friendships that influenced a nation on the brink of war. #Churchill #WinstonChurchill #ThinkChurchill #history #historybooks #churchillbooks #chartwell @chartwellnt @katieculture"> </a> </div> </div><div class="sbi_item sbi_type_image sbi_new sbi_transition" id="sbi_18026607335590407" data-date="1731000651"> <div class="sbi_photo_wrap"> <a class="sbi_photo" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCFB9N-oDTj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" data-full-res="https://scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=15lJ1MFNz8UQ7kNvgFSBsSr&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYCbqOkyhqoRnTXITlTEGst8Za5sOQBO-pNWlsuTbhtPKw&oe=67487E40" data-img-src-set="{"d":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=15lJ1MFNz8UQ7kNvgFSBsSr&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYCbqOkyhqoRnTXITlTEGst8Za5sOQBO-pNWlsuTbhtPKw&oe=67487E40","150":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=15lJ1MFNz8UQ7kNvgFSBsSr&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYCbqOkyhqoRnTXITlTEGst8Za5sOQBO-pNWlsuTbhtPKw&oe=67487E40","320":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=15lJ1MFNz8UQ7kNvgFSBsSr&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYCbqOkyhqoRnTXITlTEGst8Za5sOQBO-pNWlsuTbhtPKw&oe=67487E40","640":"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.2885-15\/465760663_1630880014485628_992008769411466474_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=15lJ1MFNz8UQ7kNvgFSBsSr&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.cdninstagram.com&edm=AM6HXa8EAAAA&oh=00_AYCbqOkyhqoRnTXITlTEGst8Za5sOQBO-pNWlsuTbhtPKw&oe=67487E40"}"> <span class="sbi-screenreader">On this day, 7 Nov 1924 Sir Winston Churchill was </span> <img src="https://winstonchurchill.org/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="On this day, 7 Nov 1924 Sir Winston Churchill was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Churchill would hold this position until 1929 when he resigned from the post following the defeat of Baldwin's government.
