Description

One of the best essays about Winston Churchill ever written, a review by Berlin of the initial volume of Churchill’s war memoirs (THE GATHERING STORM) that first ran in 1949 in The Atlantic Monthly, in the U.S. and The Cornhill Magazine, in the UK, before being published in stand-alone book form. This is a very good copy of the First English trade edition, in an unclipped dust jacket. The contents are fine, with a discreetly inked former owner’s name on the front free endpaper.
