CHURCHILL, Winston S. - OSBERT, Sitwell.

£250 · Offered by Peter Harrington · No longer available

The Winstonburg Line. First edition of Sitwell's collection of poems attacking Winston Churchill."A spirited if somewhat laboured polemic... Churchill already seemed to Osbert to be the supreme warmonger and in 1919 he compounded his sins by championing intervention against the Bolsheviks in Russia" (Ziegler, p. 70). The poems were first published in The Nation and The Daily Herald.Provenance: the collection of Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Magazine, and presidential candidate in the 1996 and 2000 US elections.
