About This Item
From the front dust jacket flap: "At age twenty-four, Winston Churchill was utterly convinced it was his destiny to become prime minister of England one day, despite the fact he had just lost his first election campaign for Parliament."
From the back of the dust jacket: "A rich narrative...Millard zeroes in on the epic beginnings of an epic public life [and] masters all the details. Millard's tome is a slam-bang study of Churchill's wit and wile as he navigates the Boer War like [a] proto-James Bond." - USA Today
Stated First Edition. Author signature on title page.
Book - Fine condition. I did note a tiny spot and tiny scratch to the bottom of the closed book pages. Text is clean. Binding is tight.
Dust Jacket - Near Fine condition. There is a tiny bit of edge/corner wear.
Please use photos as part of the description.
381 pages including Index.
