1923-1931 The World Crisis
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding
Comprising volumes I-V of this important work. Lacking the final volume, which was not published until 1931.
Volume I is a second edition, Volume II, III, IV, and V are first edition, second impressions.
Collated, 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.
Prior owner's inscription to the recto of front pastedown to volume II, Stanley Johnson, Xmas 1923... being the signature of Sir Louis Stanley Johnson, an English Solicitor and Conservative party politician. He was an MP for Hackney Council.
Volume V once belonged to the BBC library, with the library stamp to the recto of front endpaper and rear pastedown only.
A really bright, and fantastically neat early edition of this work.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart, with little shelfwear to the head and tail of spines. Prior owner's inscription to the recto of front pastedown to volume II, Stanley Johnson, Xmas 1923... being the signature of Sir Louis Stanley Johnson, an English Solicitor and Conservative party politician. He was an MP for Hackney Council. Library stamps to the front endpaper and rear pastedown of Volume V, the BBC library. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright. Scattered spots to the first and last few pages. Otherwise, just the odd spot.
Very Good Indeed
