A propos de cet article

First English Edition Set (First Printing) [1 of 2,003 produced]. More blood and guts reportage by young Winston, the war correspondent, here in his second book delivering a brilliant history of British involvement in the Sudan and an account of the fierce campaign for its reconquest that Churchill himself participated in and, in many significant ways, disapproved of. Originally published in two large, lavish and, today, extremely rare volumes. This is an exemplary First English edition set with lustrous blue-black cloth, bright gilt and unfaded spines that are well-rounded and unfrayed. The binding is crisp and tight and the corners are all sharp.There are two discreet vintage bookplates, one loosely laid-into each volume from an unknown collector and one affixed to the front pastedowns of each volume from "The Winston Churchill Collection" of the late-Donald Scott Carmichael, one of the great Churchillians of our generation (and a cherished former-Chartwell customer). All maps, plans and tissue guards are present and virtually mint. The contents are quite lightly foxed throughout.A smashing example of this majestic pair, preserved in a green gilt-lettered slipcase with the Churchill crest on the front face. Each book is also wrapped in a color xerox replica of the spectacularly rare dust jackets for this set. 8vo (488 pages and 516 pages, profusely illustrated with drawings, 11 folding color maps, other maps & plans.) (Cohen A2.1.a) (Woods A2a).…
