A set of first edition, first printings of ‘The Second World War’ published by Cassell between 1948-1954. All are in very good to near fine condition in very good (or better) dust wrappers. Lightly spine browned as is usual with this title. Light wear to the spine of the dust wrappers some light internal repair. A little light staining to the front panel of Volume 1. Accompanied by two Churchill family Christmas cards based on paintings by Churchill himself (back mounted with card) and with one acknowledgement Christmas slip from Clementine Churchill in her hand, ‘from my Husband and myself/Clementine Churchill’.

“It was wholly appropriate that in 1953 Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature” (Keegan). Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 best non-fiction books of the twentieth century. It placed number one on the 100 best non-fiction books of the twentieth century by National Review magazine. A superb set, rarely found in this condition.
