    Description

    Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper

    A complete set of Churchill's post-war speeches. Published between 1948 and 1961. Complete sets of the post-war speeches are a lot more uncommon compared to his earlier war speeches as they were only printed in a single impression. 

    Subject matter of these speeches include the undoing of the British Empire, post-war recovery and his calls to unite Europe. In addition we see the start of the Cold War, and Churchill's return to Downing Street in the early 1950's. The final volume sees his resignation and subsequent global speeches. 

    Comprising over 250 speeches made by Churchill including his noted address 'The Iron Curtain'. 

    All dustwrappers are unclipped. 

    A smart set of this important speech collection.

    Condition

    In uniform cloth bindings with unclipped dustwrappers. Externally, very smart with just some minor bumping to the head and tail of spines. Small loss to the tail of spine to 'The Unwritten Alliance. Dustwrappers are generally smart with some minor chips and rubbing to the head and tail of spines. Internally, all volumes are firmly bound. Prior owner's inscription to the recto of front endpaper, 'Reggie from Harry 27th September 1948'. Pages are very bright and clean.

    Very Good Indeed
