There are a few inaccuracies. For example:

The exact F E Smith quote is ''Winston can make do with the best of everything.''

The FDR incident was that Winnie appeared somewhere naked and FDR walked in and Winnie said ''The Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide from the President of the United States''. It is extremely unlikely that WSC would have deliberately taken the towel off.

On the wartime Cuban cigars sent to him: there were many but he wasn't allowed to smoke them for fear of poisoning.

His family called his siren suits his 'rompers'

Still, it is good that the book has been done.

The historian M. O'Donoghue has researched some of the legendary Churchill anecdotes, such as the Churchill/FDR encounter:
"Churchill was given to reading to reading in the bathtub and, while staying at the White House, he became so engrossed in an account of the Battle of Fonteney that he forgot President Roosevelt was due to drop by to discuss the upcoming conference in Yalta. At the appointed hour, the president was wheeled into Churchill’s quarters only to be informed that the prime minister had not finished bathing. Roosevelt was about to apologize for the intrusion and depart when Churchill, puffing his customary cigar, strode into the room stark naked and greeted the nonplussed world leader with a terse, 'What are you staring at, homo?'"

NJS - Yes. Churchill knew exactly what to expect from Stalin, or at least he says so in his book on WW2 (written after the war, and it's very possible he is making himself look more insightful than he was then.  But I tend to trust him on this ground.)
