San Francisco: Ransohoffs [Printed by the Grabhorn Press], 1941. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. One of 250 copies, elephant folio size, 62 pp. In addition to having been a highly-regarded (albeit somewhat controversial) Prime Minister of England and one who can justly claim a large part of the credit for helping the Allies win World War II, Winston Churchill (1874-1965) is also widely considered to have been one of the greatest speakers of the twentieth century. Among his most famous speeches were those in 1940 when Churchill rallied the British nation with his words and optimism, a portion of which are presented in this volume. A prolific writer as well as a gifted speaker, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for his overall body of work in 1953 (n. b. info from The National Churchill Museum website).
