Collector's Guide
Victory was the sixth volume of Churchill’s collected World War II speeches (covering 18 January-16 August 1945). The last eight months of the war are here: Yalta, the United Nations, the death of Roosevelt, the German surrender, VE-Day, the Atomic bomb, the surrender of Japan and, finally, the General Election that throws Churchill out of office. Churchill’s speeches were collected and published yearly throughout the war in both the U.K. and the U.S.
Description
This is a very good copy of the First American edition without a dust jacket. The cloth is fresh and bright on the front and rear faces, but has dimmed a bit on the spine. The contents are fine.
