Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first impression of this first abridged edition of Winston Churchill's account of the Second World War, in the publisher's original price clipped dust wrapper.

Churchill's memoirs of the Second World War were originally published in six volumes between 1948 and 1954, and are to this day viewed as significant works of twentieth century history.

In this work Churchill's account of the war has for the first time been condensed into a single volume, with the addition of a new epilogue written by Churchill detailing the years 1945 to 1957, for which he was paid the impressive sum of £20,000.

Illustrated throughout with a number of map detailing the manoeuvres of the armies involved.
