CHURCHILL, Winston S.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Arms and the Covenant. First edition, in the scarce jacket. The book collects speeches from Churchill's "wilderness years", warning of a re-armed Germany, the threats posed by Hitler and Mussolini, and the inevitable failure of appeasement. Though largely unpopular and unheeded at the time, his warnings proved remarkably prescient. The collection was later published in America as While England Slept.Provenance: the collection of Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Magazine, and presidential candidate in the 1996 and 2000 US elections.
