London: Cassell and Company Ltd., 1948. First edition, only printing. Hardcover. This is an exceptional copy of the British first edition, only printing, of the first of Churchill's five postwar speech volumes. Copies thus – near fine plus in a near fine plus dust jacket – have become elusive and are the starting point of filling a premium set.

The contents are bright and clean with no previous ownership marks and no spotting. We note only light dust soiling to the top edges. The lower front flap of the dust jacket is neatly price-clipped, but apart from this, the dust jacket is not only bright and crisp but entirely complete, with no further loss. Shelf presentation is excellent, with just a few tiny, white scuffs. Even the white rear face remains bright with only slight overall soiling. The dust jacket is protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover.… Read More

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1949. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Here is a full set of U.S. editions of Churchill's postwar speeches in the scarce dust jackets. These volumes span the period from immediately after the Second World War, when Churchill was Leader of the Opposition, through the end of 1952, during his second Premiership. The events encompassed by these years are in many ways no less dramatic than those of the war years - the unraveling of the British Empire, the post-war recovery, the beginning of the Cold War, Soviet acquisition of the atomic bomb and U.S. invention of the hydrogen bomb. The U.S. postwar speeches were published in very small numbers, making jacketed U.S. editions much rarer than their British counterparts. Collectors should note that the U.S. postwar speeches compmrise only four volumes, as the fifth and final volume, The Unwritten Alliance, had no U.S. edition. All four volumes offered here are in near-fine condition with no spotting and no previous owner… Read More

London: Cassell and Company Ltd,, 1948-61. Building the post-war world First editions, first impressions, of the full set of the publications of Churchill's post-war speeches, edited by his son Randolph. Though Churchill's post-war life is often seen as a footnote to his wartime leadership, his renowned oratory still attracted huge audiences, and his speeches were publicized around the world. The speeches cover the period from Churchill's role as Leader of the Opposition following his unexpected 1945 election defeat (including the famous Iron Curtain speech), to his return to Downing Street from 1951 to 1955, and to his final retirement from high office. Themes include the need for European unity and to counter the Soviet threat. Events covered include the Queen's coronation, decolonization, Indian independence, the creation of Israel, and the Labour government's programme of nationalization and the expansion of the welfare state. Provenance: the collection of Steve Forbes. Five volumes, octavo.… Read More

London: Cassell and Company Ltd., 1948. First edition, only printing. Hardcover. Here is a superior jacketed set of all five of Churchill's post-WWII speech volumes, increasingly challenging to assemble thus. This set is among the best we have been able to offer, elusive thus. All five volumes in this set are in truly fine condition. Their jackets vary from very good plus to near-fine plus. All five cloth bindings are strikingly clean, tight, and square with sharp corners, bright spine gilt, and virtually no wear. The contents of all five volumes are exceptionally clean. We find no previous ownership marks. The sole instance of spotting in the set is mild and entirely confined to the top edges of Stemming the Tide. The text block edges of all five volumes are otherwise clean apart from a little shelf dust to the top edges of The Sinews of Peace. The dust jackets are equally impressive. All five jackets are unclipped, retaining the original front flap prices. All five jackets are entirely unfaded,… Read More
