WAR LETTERS
by Crosby, Harry
- Used
- Hardcover
Paris: Black Sun Press, 1932. Small quarto. Publisher's quarter calf and pastepaper boards and endpapers, ribbon marker. Frontis portrait. Light rubbing to edges of boards, otherwise a fine copy. First edition. One of 125 copies on Navarre. This copy, as often (but not always), has a portion of a line on page 305 blacked out. Crosby served with the American Field Service and the Ambulance Corps during the Great War, experiences which left an indelible mark on his personality and world-view. The letters are preceded by a chronology and brief Preface by Henrietta Crosby. While not a particularly scarce book, the binding of this, the last Paris Black Sun imprint, is particularly vulnerable to wear and deterioration to the joints and this is an unusually nice copy. MINKOFF A43.

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1927. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. This is a jacketed U.S. first edition set of the 1916-1918 volumes of The World Crisis, Churchill's acclaimed history of the First World War. A quarter of a century before the Second World War endowed him with lasting fame, Winston Churchill played a uniquely critical, controversial, and varied role in the War to end all wars. The events of these 1916-1918 volumes include Churchill's time at the Front following his political exile and his subsequent return to the Cabinet. The U.S. is the true first edition, as U.S. Volume I publication preceded the British. Jacketed first editions are quite scarce - jacketed U.S. editions even more so. Charles Scribner's Sons originally issued the 1916-1918 volumes as a two-volume set. This set is very good plus in very good dust jackets. The bindings are extremely clean, marked only by slight dulling to the bottom edges of the spines. The contents are clean and tight with…

Description:
London: National War Aims Committee, 1918. First edition, only printing. Pamphlet. This exceptionally rare speech pamphlet contains the speech of 25 April 1918 Churchill delivered in the House of Commons as Minister of Munitions during the First World War. This is the only copy we know of in private ownership. Churchill began the First World War as the powerful First Lord of the Admiralty, but was scapegoated for the Dardanelles disaster and forced out in May 1915. By November 1915, Churchill was serving at the Front, spending part of his political exile as a lieutenant colonel leading a battalion in the trenches. His May 1916 return to London saw "no upsurge in his political fortunes" and left him criticizing the war effort from an unaccustomed "position of political weakness and personal isolation" much as he would two decades later on the eve of the Second World War. (Gilbert, Vol. III) By May 1917 there was growing parliamentary opposition to the Government. "Lloyd George knew that…

Paris: The Black Sun Press,, 1932. First edition, one of 125 copies only, of this posthumously printed collection of Harry Crosby's letters written home to his family during his traumatic, formative war experiences serving as a volunteer in the American ambulance corps. Crosby had ended his own life in a dramatic suicide pact the year before this book's publication. The calf binding is particularly susceptible to wear and this is an unusually handsome example. Octavo. Original calf-backed marbled boards, titles gilt to spines with raised bands and olive morocco title labels, marbled endpapers. Photographic portrait frontispiece showing Crosby in his military uniform. Very light wear to extremities, but a sound and attractive copy, fresh within, generally excellent condition.
