About This Item
New York: Free Press, 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/near fine. Signed. Clean and unmarked, unread. Signed by Gibert on the title page. First printing, full number line. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hard Cover.martin Gilbert is the author of the eight volume official biography of Winston Churchill. "Historically, the most important connections were between Churchill and the two WWII presidents, Roosevelt and Truman, and the book is filled with detail on the war years, especially his indefatigable efforts to get America involved in the war. He tells his son, "I shall drag the United States in." But it's just as interesting to discover how Churchill embraced America so early in his life, not of necessity but out of temperament. In a letter home during his very first visit, he notes American vulgarity, but adds, "I think... that vulgarity is a sign of strength." This is a fascinating story, straightforward and well told, of one of the 20th century's most important leaders and the critical connection he forged between the world's fading superpower and its rising one."--Publishers Weekly.
