Description:
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1949. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Here is a full set of U.S. editions of Churchill's postwar speeches in the scarce dust jackets. These volumes span the period from immediately after the second World War, when Churchill was Leader of the Opposition, through the end of 1952, during his second Premiership. The events encompassed by these years are in many ways no less dramatic than those of the war years - the unraveling of the British Empire, the post-war recovery, the beginning of the Cold War, Soviet acquisition of the atomic bomb and U.S. invention of the hydrogen bomb. The U.S. postwar speeches were published in very small numbers, making jacketed U.S. editions much rarer than their British counterparts. Collectors should note that the U.S. postwar speeches are only four volumes, as the fifth and final volume, The Unwritten Alliance, had no U.S. edition. All four volumes offered here are in fine condition - clean, tight, and square with unfaded bindings, and…

The River War
by Winston S. Churchill
- Used
- Hardcover
London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1951. Hardcover. This is the final printing of the bibliographically important 1933 edition of Churchill's second published book, an unusually clean near fine copy in a very good plus dust jacket. The mustard-yellow cloth binding is square, tight, and clean with sharp corners, bright spine gilt, and only trivial shelf wear to the bottom edges. The contents are clean and free of spotting and the only previous ownership mark is a small London bookshops sticker affixed to the lower front free endpaper recto. The text block edges show mild, uniform soiling and negligible soiling. This fifth impression dust jacket features yellow faces and spine, front cover illustrations, and print in red and dark blue. Unique to the fifth impression is the rear face advertisement for "A History of Europe". This example is complete, with no loss. Moreover, there is no appreciable spine toning, the red spine print still distinct. Moderate soiling and light wear to extremities are the only faults. Interestingly, a small bookseller's "30/ - Net" sticker is placed over the original "21S. NET" price. Bibliographer Ronald Cohen notes that copies of the fifth printing "were bound and sold gradually". (Vol. I, A2.4.e, p56) The sticker and price exactly matches several we have seen on other examples of this printing. The jacket is protected beneath a removable, clear, archival cover. Originally published in 1899, The River War recounts Churchill's experiences and reflections concerning British involvement in the Sudan. In 1883, Mahdist forces of messianic leader Mohammed Ahmed overwhelmed the Egyptian army of British commander William Hicks and Britain ordered withdrawal from the Sudan. In 1885, General Gordon famously lost his life in a doomed defense of Khartoum, where he had been sent to lead evacuation of Egyptian forces. General Kitchener reoccupied the Sudan in 1898. With him was a very young Winston Churchill, who participated in the last great British cavalry charge during the battle of Omdurman in September 1898, where the Mahdist forces were decisively defeated. Writing about the British campaign in the Sudan, Churchill - a young officer in a colonial British army - is unusually sympathetic to the Mahdist forces and critical of Imperial cynicism and cruelty. This work offers us the candid perspective of the future great man of the 20th century from the distinctly 19th century battlefields where Churchill learned to write and earned his early fame. The text is arresting, insightful, powerfully descriptive, and of enduring relevance. In 1933, a so-called "Second Cheap Edition" was made from plates of the 1902 edition with a bibliographically significant new introduction by the author explaining that "A generation has grown up which knows little of why we are in Egypt and the Sudan." There were ultimately five printings of this edition with at least seven different dust jackets issued (at least two for the 1933 second printing and two for this final, 1951 printing). This fifth printing in the 1951 issue dust jacket was the last issue of this edition in Churchill's lifetime, issued during his second and final premiership. The 1951 dust jacket features the same front face illustration and spine as the 1949 dust jacket, but with an entirely different rear face and some differences to the front flap. Reference: Cohen A2.4.e, Woods/ICS A2(da.5), Langworth p.33

Description:
London: The Liberal Publication Department, 1911. First edition, only printing. Hardcover. Contained in this bound volume is the first edition, only printing of this scarce Churchill speech leaflet. In 1910 Winston Churchill was a young lion of the Liberal Party, vexing the British establishment and helping Lloyd George lay the foundations of the modern welfare state. Here is the original 1910 leaflet publishing Churchill's November 14 letter stating vehement opposition to the veto power of the House of Lords. This leaflet captures the young radical Churchill in full flower. "Was ever inequality more scandalous? Was ever injustice more glaring? All classes are to have votes; but only Tory votes are to count. WE CAN SUBMIT NO LONGER TO THIS USAGE. THIS IS OUR LAND AS MUCH AS IT IS THEIRS." The leaflet is two pages, published by the Liberal Publications Department as Leaflet No. 2358 on November 18, 1910. It is bound in this volume containing Liberal Party speeches and pamphlets for the year 1910.…

Description:
London: National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations, 1945. Political edition," only printing. Pamphlet. This is an extraordinarily fine example of the only printing of the "Political" edition of this striking wartime speech pamphlet. Published in April, 1945, by the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations, this was a campaign piece for the forthcoming General Election, containing Churchill's March 15, 1945 address to the Party Conference at Central Hall, Westminster. It attests to the fact that, as the war in Europe drew toward an inexorable close, the suspended tensions of domestic politics intruded ever more urgently on the politically unified war effort, fracturing the wartime coalition that had acknowledged Churchill as its indispensible Prime Minister. Having done so much to win the war, Churchill faced frustration of his postwar plans when his wartime government fell to Labour in the General Election of July 1945. He would remain Leader of the Opposition until…

Description:
New York: The Robert Schalkenbach Foundation, 1963. Third edition (First U.S. edition), first printing. Paperback. In 1941, extracts from two Churchill speeches delivered in the House of Commons on 4 May 1909 and at King's Theatre, Edinburgh, 17 July 1909, were published as "The Menace of Land Monopoly" by the Henry George Foundation of Australia. A second edition of 1942 retitled the publication as "On Human Rights". The publisher's original introductory note states: "In now publishing these extracts it is hoped that Mr. Churchill's eloquent and emphatic criticism of the present Land System will not be lost sight of in the post-war reconstruction for a New Social Order of which so much is being heard." Less well known is this first American edition (the third edition overall following the first two Australian editions) published in the early 1960s by The Robert Schalkenbach Foundation. Robert Schalkenbach was a wealthy printer who established a fund to promote public awareness of the social…

Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
