"We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it": Winston Churchill’s Masterpiece The Second World War; Volume IV Inscribed to friend Lady Wavertree
First editions of Churchill’s World War II masterpiece. Six volumes. Octavo, original black cloth. Inscribed in Volume IV to Lady Wavertree in the year of publication. Lady Wavertree was a close friend of Churchill. Scattered light foxing to the page edges, near fine in near fine dust jackets. An exceptional set, with a desirable association.
"Winston Churchill himself affirmed that ‘this is not history: this is my case" (Holmes, 285). Churchill was re-elected to the post of Prime Minister in 1951. "The Second World War is a great work of literature, combining narrative, historical imagination and moral precept in a form that bears comparison with that of the original master chronicler, Thucydides. It was wholly appropriate that in 1953 Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature" (Keegan).
