First Published April, 1923 stated on copyright page of first volume, and then all other volumes have subsequent dates. Volume 3 is INSCRIBED by Churchill on a front free end paper to Kenneth Dewar, who was a prominent and controversial figure in the British navy as well as a top adviser to Churchill. From Wikipedia --Churchill wrote an anti-Jellicoe tract in his World Crisis, Volume III which in large measure shared Dewar's views on tactics and even some diagrams.[38] Although Dewar would later become a supporter of the Labour Party, after Churchill was passed over for a cabinet position in 1931 Dewar wrote to him on 16 November, "I am very sorry to see that you are not in the new Cabinet. I had hoped you would go to the Admiralty and do very necessary work for the Navy." Volume 4 is annotated by Dewar with some fascinating comments on Churchill's version of events in which he had personal knowledge. Thornton Butterworth, London, 1923-1931. Original blue cloth.
