About This Item
Thornton Butterworth Limited. Large thick 8vo., navy publisher's boards, embossed with title and author to the lower corner; spine lettered and decorated in gilt; in the original printed dust jacket priced 30 shillings net; pp. [viii], 9-474, [ii]; containing 4 folding maps, and 4 additional in text, both in black and white and full colour; edges lightly spotted, endpapers a touch offset; lightly creased to spine; but else a superior copy, unusually complete with the jacket, which is a touch darkened in places and nicked to spine ends. Near fine. Second impression, published in the same month as the first, in the genuinely rare dust jacket. The fifth part of Churchill's account of the First World War. Aftermath addresses some of the complications and disappointments following Armistice day which ultimately set the stage for the Second World War. In fact, the same year this volume was published, Churchill faced his own complications and disappointments, as the Conservatives lost 10 Downing Street and Churchill his Cabinet post as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The ensuing 1930s would come to be called Churchill's "Wilderness Years" - a decade he spent out of power and out of favor, warning about the dangers of a rising Nazi Germany, often at odds with both his party leadership and prevailing public sentiment. Seldom found in this condition. . Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 2nd Printing. 1929.
