Description
This definitive biography of Edward (“Eddie”) Marsh, Churchill’s longtime private secretary and close friend, includes texts of a number of original Churchill letters. Marsh accepted the post of private secretary in 1905 and went on to accompany Churchill to every government post that he occupied until Marsh’s retirement thirty years later.
This is a very good copy of the First English edition, in an unclipped dust jacket that is very lightly edge-chipped, else fine. The contents are pristine.
