CHURCHILL, Winston S.
The World Crisis, 1911-1918.
First One Volume Edition, print run of 5,000, 26th February 1931. Abridged from the four core volumes of the World Crisis by Churchill himself, recasting "the whole account so as to present a continuous narrative in a more compendious form" and profiting by "new knowledge wherever possible." (Author's Preface) He has also added an "important new" chapter on the battle of the Marne, first published in the Daily Telegraph in June 1930. "This book in its combined edition strives to follow throughout the methods and balance of Defoe's Memoirs of a Cavalier. It is a contribution to history strung upon a fairly strong thread of personal reminiscence." Distinctly uncommon in dust jacket.
Octavo. Original green cloth, titles in blind to the upper board and gilt to spine in dust jacket. With 48 maps, plans and tables, some folding. A very good copy indeed, the jacket sunned, particularly on the spine, and a little chipped, but almost entirely complete.
