I'm reading No More Champagne: Churchill and his Money, by David Lough. This is a fascinating account of Churchill's personal finances; he was both profligate and duplicitous. It also gives insight into the various shenanigans the connected could engage in to fund their lifestyles and what was going on in the major financial markets during the first half of the 20th century. An entertaining and enlightening read with some, dare I say it, continuing relevance.
