About This Item
It received much critical acclaim However, filial devotion caused him to soften some of his father's less attractive aspects Theodore Roosevelt, who had known Lord Randolph, reviewed the book as "a clever, tactful and rather cheap and vulgar life of that clever, tactful and rather cheap and vulgar egotist" Some historians suggest Churchill used the book in part to vindicate his own career and in particular to justify crossing the floor
2 vols xvi, [2], 564; viii, [2], 531 pp Illustrated with photogravure portraits, facsimiles, etc 23x155 cm (9x6"), bound in red cloth lettered in gilt, gilt armorial shield on front covers
Spines faded with a few marks and a touch of fraying, some light soiling to covers; front hinge of Volume 2 cracked but bindings sound, occasional foxing, most pages uncut, very good overall.
