Description

This handsome tribute volume includes a brief original contribution by Winston Churchill on the bravery of the Belgian people, though his name was unintentionally omitted from the list of contributors. Usually seen in white cloth, this is a variant binding in yellowish-grey cloth. The book is in good condition only, with faded cloth, shelfwear along the spine, a creased front free endpaper and scattered foxing.
