London: Thomas Nelson & Sons, Ltd., 1916. Third edition. Hardcover. This is the Shilling Library edition, notable for both superior condition and the presence of the striking front face of the exceptionally rare original dust jacket. This title was Churchill's first book, recounting his experiences while attached to Sir Bindon Blood's punitive expedition on the Northwest Frontier of India in 1897. Bibliographically the third edition (after the first of 1898 and the second, Silver Library edition of 1899), this edition was billed as a “cheap edition” during the First World War - a momentous time for Churchill which saw him serve both in the Cabinet and on the Front and which nearly cost him both his political and corporeal lives.

Complicating matters for collectors, there were no fewer than 10 different editions, printings, and binding variations for the very small number of Colonial issues ultimately produced from 1898 to 1901. This first printing of the colonial issue of… Read More
