CHURCHILL, Winston S.
India. Speeches and an Introduction.
First edition, wrappered issue. The 30s are characterized as Churchill's wilderness years, with his unrelenting opposition to Hitler being seen as main cause for his ostracism. However "another, and earlier reason lay in his bitter opposition to Baldwin's India policy … Churchill had always hit hard; not for him a round of gentlemanly sparring between friends. His fight to maintain full control of India employed not just the clenched fist but the bludgeon" (Woods, Artillery of Words).
Octavo. Original orange light card printed wraps. Some slight chipping and to the tail edge of the upper wrap and of the spine, small piece chipped from the lower joint, just biting one letter of the spine lettering, light toning, a very good copy.
