The world crisis 1911-1918 - Winston S. Churchill

Popis knihy:

This is the first paperback edition of the abridged one volume World Crisis. Churchill's history of the First World War - which he titled "The World Crisis" - was originally published between 1923 and 1931. Of The World Crisis, Churchill bibliographer Frederick Woods wrote: "The volumes contain some of Churchill's finest writing, weaving the many threads together with majestic ease, describing the massive battles in terms which fitly combine relish of the literary challenge with an awareness of the sombre tragedy of the events." Churchill was in a unique position to write this history, having served both in the Cabinet and on the front; Churchill was First Lord of the Admiralty until 1915 and then, after bearing blame for the Dardanelles tragedy, served as a lieutenant colonel leading a battalion in the trenches. This is a very thick paperback of 958 pages. This copy is sound with no loosening of the pages. The covers and spine are complete with no losses or tears, but with some creasing, particularly at the upper front corner. The spine is slightly curved and creased, but not badly so for such a thick paperback. There is a small bookseller sticker on the upper right front cover. The contents remain tight and clean, showing some inevitable age toning to the page edges.
