About This Item
New York: Little, Brown, 2012. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Volume III in the justifiably celebrated trilogy. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound in hardcover format, a big, massively heavy, rewarding biography, generally clean, minimal rubbing to extremities, short range of tiny dog-eared pages, else splendid. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. Says an adoring review, "Manchester has such control over a huge and moving narrative, such illumination of character . . . that he can claim the considerable achievement of having assembled enough powerful evidence to support Isaiah Berlin s judgment of Churchill as the largest human being of our time.'" xvi [2], 4-1182 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
