Martin Gilbert signed In Search of Churchill: A Historian's Journey by Martin Gilbert 1994, hardback, inscribed. Riveting 1994 memoir and behind-the-scenes historical account written by Sir Martin Gilbert, the official biographer of Sir Winston Churchill. The book details Gilbert’s 30-year quest sorting through an astonishing 15 tons of paper and historical files to document the life of the twentieth century's most iconic British statesman. Rather than acting as a standard, dry political biography, it serves as a ”how-to” guide and a labor of love for aspiring historians, pulling back the curtain on the triumphs and exhausting realities of deep archival research. Only two signed copies on Abebooks, priced at £38 and £95.
