London: Cassell and Co. Ltd. , 1950.. Very good copy. . Edition: First Edition. , Binding: contemporary green cloth over board, title in gilt on flat spine. , Notes: Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill (1874 – 1965) was a British politician, army officer, and writer. He was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, when he led Britain to victory in the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. Churchill represented five constituencies during his career as a Member of Parliament (MP). Ideologically an economic liberal and imperialist, for most of his career he was a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955, but from 1904 to 1924 was instead a member of the Liberal Party. Widely considered one of the 20th century's most significant figures, Churchill remains popular in the UK and Western world, where he is seen as a victorious wartime leader who played an important role in defending liberal democracy from the spread of fascism. Also praised as a social… Read More

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1949. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Here is a full set of U.S. editions of Churchill's postwar speeches in the scarce dust jackets. These volumes span the period from immediately after the Second World War, when Churchill was Leader of the Opposition, through the end of 1952, during his second Premiership. The events encompassed by these years are in many ways no less dramatic than those of the war years - the unraveling of the British Empire, the post-war recovery, the beginning of the Cold War, Soviet acquisition of the atomic bomb and U.S. invention of the hydrogen bomb. The U.S. postwar speeches were published in very small numbers, making jacketed U.S. editions much rarer than their British counterparts. Collectors should note that the U.S. postwar speeches compmrise only four volumes, as the fifth and final volume, The Unwritten Alliance, had no U.S. edition. All four volumes offered here are in near-fine condition with no spotting and no previous owner… Read More

London: Cassell and Company Ltd,, 1948-61. Building the post-war world First editions, first impressions, of the full set of the publications of Churchill's post-war speeches, edited by his son Randolph. Though Churchill's post-war life is often seen as a footnote to his wartime leadership, his renowned oratory still attracted huge audiences, and his speeches were publicized around the world. The speeches cover the period from Churchill's role as Leader of the Opposition following his unexpected 1945 election defeat (including the famous Iron Curtain speech), to his return to Downing Street from 1951 to 1955, and to his final retirement from high office. Themes include the need for European unity and to counter the Soviet threat. Events covered include the Queen's coronation, decolonization, Indian independence, the creation of Israel, and the Labour government's programme of nationalization and the expansion of the welfare state. Provenance: the collection of Steve Forbes. Five volumes, octavo.… Read More

London: Cassell and Company Ltd., 1948. First edition, only printing. Hardcover.

All five jackets are unclipped, retaining the original front flap prices. All five jackets are entirely unfaded,… Read More
