CHURCHILL, Winston S.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Marlborough. First editions, first impressions. Churchill's biography of the first Duke of Marlborough, his ancestor who led Allied forces to victory against Louis XIV, "took its place at once among the classics of historical writing. As the story of his ancestor's leadership of a grand alliance to prevent the domination of the continent by a single power, it was also a source of inspiration to Churchill in his campaign against appeasement" (ODNB).
