WINSTON S. CHURCHILL'S 'THE WAR SPEECHES' - THREE SIGNED VOLUMES
WINSTON S. CHURCHILL (1874 - 1965) British Prime Minister who led England through the Blitz and orchestrated the British liberation of occupied Europe and Germany. Churchill is today considered perhaps the greatest statesman of his century. Rare set of three signed volumes: 'The War Speeches of Winston Churchill' includes Volumes I, II, and III (London: Cassell & Company Ltd.), 1951. First edition, in blue buckram with gold titles, original dust wrappers. The books themselves are in very fine, nearly new condition, the dust wrappers showing only light toning and some wear at the tops and bottoms of spines. EACH VOLUME HAS BEEN BOLDLY SIGNED AND DATED ON THE HALF-TITLE PAGE: 'Winston S. Churchill 1959' From a period collection, untouched until now brought to auction. Every wartime speech is included in this compilation, including: 'The News is Very Bad', 'The Finest Hour', 'Britain Fights Alone', 'The Fall of France', 'The Battle of the Atlantic', . 'V for Victory', 'War with Japan', 'The Speech to Congress', V2 Rockets', 'President Roosevelt', etc. Very rarely did Churchill sign every volume of a set of his works.
