Volume I is a third edition, fourth impression. Volume II is a second edition, volume III is a first edition second impression, volume IV is a first edition second impression. Volume V is the first Macmillan edition from 1940. This work was transferred to Macmillan and Co from the original Thornton Butterworth imprint.
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.
A smart early edition of this important work.
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Light bumping to the head and tail of spine of all volumes. Cloth is exceptionally bright. Front hinge to volume I is strained but firm. Ink spill to folding plate at page 432. Pages are very bright with scattered spots, heavier to the first and last few pages.
Very Good Indeed
