Lot Description
CHURCHILL, Winston S. (1874-1965). The Second World War: The Hinge of Fate. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1950.
Vol. 4 (of 6) only. 8vo. Original cloth (front hinge cracked with half-title partially detached); dust jacket (some wear with a few chips and short tears); slipcase.
Book-of-the-Month Club edition, SIGNED BY CHURCHILL (“Winston S. Churchill”) on the title-page. Churchill chose this title to reflect the turn in the Allies’ fortunes from “almost uninterrupted disaster to almost unbroken success.” The Book-of-the-Month Club edition was published virtually simultaneously with the U.S. first edition and is quite similar in appearance. See Woods A123(a).
Property from the Patrick Atkinson Collection, Minneapolis, Minnesota
