Weight: 4 lbs. 11.7 oz. Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, DL, FRS, RA (1874 - 1965) was a British statesman who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, during the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. <br/> <br/> Best known for his wartime leadership as Prime Minister, Churchill was also a Sandhurst-educated soldier, a Nobel Prize-winning writer and historian, a prolific painter, and one of the longest-serving politicians in British history. <br/> <br/> Apart from two years between 1922 and 1924, he was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1900 to 1964 and represented a total of five constituencies<br/> <br/> Marlborough: His Life and Times is a panegyric biography written by Winston Churchill about John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. Churchill was a lineal descendant of the duke. Churchill decided to write the book after the Conservative defeat in the general election, when he had lost his ministerial seat and had time available for this massive undertaking. Marlborough was originally published by George G. Harrap in 4 volumes from 1933 through 38. This two volume edition by the same publisher is unabridged.<br/> <br/> American political philosopher Leo Strauss was particularly impressed by this book, stating in 1965 after hearing of the death of Churchill: "Not a whit less important than his deeds and speeches are his writings, above all his Marlborough—the greatest historical work written in our century, an inexhaustible mine of political wisdom and understanding, which should be required reading for every student of political science."--Wikipedia<br/> <br/> Near Fine set. Solid, clean copies of this stupendous, revelatory biography and study of the English Restoration. Previous owner's gift inscription on front pastedowns of both volumes. Very slight wear to cloth and a 3/8" strip of barely noticeable sunning across the top cover of Book One. All folldouts, maps, and illustrations present and without foxing.
