What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding
All volumes are first editions. Volumes I, II, III and VI are all first impressions. Volumes IV and V are second impressions. It is uncommon to have a run of such early impressions.
Collated, a prior owner has removed three plates to volume II, maps I, VI, and VII. All other volumes are complete.
This is a fantastic work, which Churchill delivered at great speed following his electoral defeat. It was first published from 1923-1931 and is a staunch defence of his Gallipoli policy and a criticism of Haig's strategy.
Errata slip to the first volume, at page I.
Prior owner's inscription to the front pastedown of volumes I and II , J D Harrford.
A very scarce first edition set of this important work regarding the First World War.
