Due to weight, shipping cost may be more than standard for priority or international orders. Publisher's description: "This volume tells Churchill's story during the first eight months of 1943, beginning with the Casablanca Conference-the first of three meetings between Churchill and Roosevelt during these months-and ending with the Allied capture of Sicily. Among the topics addressed are Stalin's persistent demands for the opening of a Second Front in Western Europe, the dramatic events leading up to the expulsion of the Axis from Africa, the raging war against the U-boats in the Atlantic, and Churchill's speech to Congress in May 1943. Celebrating "one continent redeemed" from the enemy's grip, Churchill proclaimed in this speech that "the mellow light of victory now begins to play" on the world war. "One will see in this volume," Larry P. Arnn writes in the preface, "how one of the most powerful and significant individuals in history did his work and made his judgements. Churchill writes elsewhere that the challenges facing warriors and statesmen consist not only in the qualitative decisions they must make, but yet more in the quantity of shifting things they must take into account. Here, in context, is the story of how Winston Churchill made those decisions in the first eight months of 1943.". N° de réf. du vendeur 24513

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
