CHURCHILL, Winston S.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Arms and the Covenant. First edition, first impression, very handsomely bound. This important collection of speeches given in Churchill's "wilderness years" contains his warnings of the dangers of a re-armed Germany, the threat of Hitler and Mussolini, and the inevitable failure of appeasement. Churchill's concerns were unpopular and largely unheeded but soon proved remarkably prescient.The collection was published later that year in America as While England Slept.
