Description:
Toronto: Macmillan, 1927. 1st Edition. Hardcover. This is the first Canadian edition of the third volume of Churchill's acclaimed history of World War I. Of The World Crisis, Churchill bibliographer Frederick Woods wrote: "The volumes contain some of Churchill's finest writing, weaving the many threads together with majestic ease, describing the massive battles in terms which fitly combine relish of the literary challenge with an awareness of the sombre tragedy of the events." Churchill was in a unique position to write this history, having served both in the Cabinet and on the front; Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty until 1915 and then, after bearing blame for the Dardanelles tragedy, served as a lieutenant colonel leading a battalion in the trenches. The events covered in this volume include Churchill's time commanding a battalion in the line. The Canadian issue of Churchill's World Crisis was published in Canada from the American plates and is very similar in appearance. However,…

Description:
London: Thornton Butterworth Limited, 1927. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. This is the British first edition, first printing, of the third volume of Winston Churchill's monumental 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. Then, being Churchill, he wrote about it. The World Crisis was originally published in six volumes between 1923 and 1931, with the first four volumes spanning the war years 1911-1918 and the final two volumes covering the postwar years 1918-1928 (The Aftermath) and the Eastern theatre (The Eastern Front). The events of the 1916-1918 volumes, of which this is the first, include Churchill's time at the Front, his return to the Cabinet, and Armistice Day, marking the formal end of hostilities. Unfortunately, the smooth navy cloth of the British first editions proved quite susceptible to wear,…

Description:
London: Thornton Butterworth,, 1923-29. A stupendous narrative of the war in Europe First editions, mixed impressions, a handsomely bound set of Churchill's mammoth history of the First World War, comprising first impressions of volumes I, III, and IV, a second impression of volume V, and a third impression of volume II. This set is from the collection of Churchill's bibliographer Ronald Cohen. The work deals with Churchill's reorganization of the Royal Navy in the years leading up to the war, defends his Gallipoli policy, and criticizes Haig's strategy. "Although parts of The World Crisis were highly autobiographical, drawing on documents from Churchill's private papers, the book as a whole was a stupendous narrative of the war in Europe featuring masterly set-piece accounts of major battles. Dictated to secretaries as he strode up and down the room, it exhibited his passionate interest in war and his romantic conception of the 'true glory' of the troops who perished on the Somme" (ODNB).

London: Thornton Butterworth Limited,, 1923-31. Inscribed during a doomed electoral campaign First editions, first impressions of volumes II-VI, third edition of volume I, which is inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "T. B. Wall from Winston S. Churchill, Westminster Election 1924". Churchill stood for the seat of Westminster Abbey in a by-election on 19 March 1924. He had lost his seat in Dundee in 1922 and ran as a Constitutionalist, but was defeated by 43 votes by the Unionist candidate Otho Nicholson. Churchill later returned to parliament for Epping in the October 1924 election as a Constitutionalist, but sitting with the Conservatives. Working with astonishing speed and energy, Churchill produced this mammoth history of the First World War in the aftermath of electoral defeat. The work deals with his reorganization of the Royal Navy in the years leading up to the War, defends his Gallipoli policy, and criticises Haig's strategy. John Buchan considered these volumes "the best…

Description:
London: Thornton Butterworth Limited,, 1923-31. Inscribed to an intelligence officer "crucial to the war at sea" First editions, first impressions, vol. I inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "Inscribed for Colin McFadyean by Winston S. Churchill, Oct. 10 1945". Fluent in French and German and the son of a former ambassador to Germany, Colin McFadyean had been appointed in September 1939 by Ian Fleming to head the German section in Naval Intelligence (Fry, pp. 50-1). In 1942, he moved to Trent Park, where German generals and officers captured in the war were secretly bugged to hear their private conversations. McFadyean was tasked with interrogating U-boat prisoners; "his work with Naval Intelligence was crucial to the war at sea" (The Times obituary, 12 June 2007). Towards the end of the war Churchill read and annotated a copy of McFadyean's paper on prisoner interrogation (National Archives, ADM 223-475). The World Crisis is Churchill's mammoth history of the First World War. The…
