London: Thornton Butterworth Limited, 1937. Hardcover. This is the scarce Keystone Library issue of the sixth and final book of Churchill's acclaimed history of the First World War in the original dust jacket. 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. In originally proposing this sixth and final book to his U.S. publisher, Charles Scribner, Churchill wrote: "In the previous volumes of the World Crisis I have described only in a few pages the course of events in the Eastern theatre. They have merely been the background of our main drama of the war. But now I think I might write a volume called 'The Eastern Front', which would be separate from but supplementary to our five volume history." The British first edition, first printing, is the scarcest volume of the six. Respectable copies are in particularly short… Read More

London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., 1941. Macmillan issue, only printing. Hardcover. This collectible Second World War reprint is the scarce Macmillan issue of the sixth and final book of Churchill's acclaimed history of the First World War, an excellent copy in the quite scarce dust jacket. This copy is near fine in a very good plus dust jacket. The navy blue cloth binding remains tight and clean, with vivid spine gilt, beautifully rounded spine, and sharp corners. We note only a hint of blistering to the cloth along the joints and a little wrinkling at the spine ends. The contents are beautifully bright and crisp. This book feels unread. Differential toning to the endpapers consistent with the dust jacket flaps confirms what the binding already testifies – that this copy has spent life jacketed. The sole previous ownership mark we find is a name and wartime date of August 14, 1942 in faded ink on the front pastedown. Spotting appears confined to the page edges. The dust jacket faces remain bright and… Read More

Churchill. Nassau. Jan. 1931" [sic - 1932]. Churchill inscribed the book during his stay in Nassau in the Bahamas, following his near-fatal collision with a car in New York on 13 December 1931. Churchill sailed for Nassau on 31 December and recuperated there until 22 January. He wrote to his son Randolph "Here I lead the life as nearly as possible of a vegetable" (Gilbert, p. 391). On 5 January, the Bahamas Legislature gave Churchill a banquet, which was presided over by Charles Dundas as acting-Governor. This was Churchill's first public appearance since the accident. He made a speech praising the Bahamas parliament as one of the oldest in the world and urging them to increase… Read More
