"In 1929, when he was finishing his undergraduate career at Oxford, Maurice Ashley had the good fortune to be asked by Winston Churchill to serve as a research assistant on his current historical . project, a biography of the first Duke of Marlborough. For four years Ashley worked almost daily with the great man on what he and many other critics consider Churchill's best book of history. (This book) tells the story of that association - what. it was like to work for Churchill, how Churchill approached a major historical project, how he absorbed the research of others and turned it into his own clarion prose - and Dr. Ashley goes on to assess Churchill's achievements as an historian an. d to offer critical commentary on his famous books....In assessing (the later) histories, where Churchill was a major particpant in the events as well as their chronicler, Dr. Ashley praises their fairness and balance, and he shows how future histo. ri a ns will be able to use these primary contributions to the history of our recent past." A few tiny areas of old tape residue on endpapers. Dust jacket light edge wear/wrinkling, a few tiny closed tears at top of spine, light rubbing with color. lo ss on rear panel.
