Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Third Printing. Superior copy, gift-quality condition, inside and out, no discernible wear, bright and shiny dust jacket, protected. From the publisher's blurb, "The letters and documents reproduced in this volume of The Churchill Documents were written between July 1914 and April 1915, the period covered by the first part of Martin Gilberts volume III of the official biography of Sir Winston Churchill. They contain the documentary evidence of his initiatives, setbacks, and achievements as wartime First Lord of the Admiralty. The volume includes his efforts to sustain the siege of Antwerp, his support for the use of air power in war, and his central part in the early development of the tank. It also shows the enthusiasm and forcefulness with which he supported an offensive naval policy, first against Germany, then against Turkey, impressing and influencing his colleagues.By examining in detail the evolution of British war policy, Martin Gilbert has discovered the extent to which the precise nature of Churchills involvement and responsibility, with regard to all he controversial aspects of his war policies, differed greatly from what many of his contemporaries believed: misconceptions that soon became widely accepted in the public mind.A few of the documents reproduced here were first printed in full in Volume III of the eight-volume Churchill biography. Others were printed in part, but most only as brief extracts or not at all. In this volume, the materials selected are reproduced in full. A substantial number are published here for the first time.More than half the documents printed here come from the Churchill papers now at Churchill College, Cambridge. The remainder were found in more than seventy different archival sources, both public and private. The selection is not restricted to Churchills own writings; the context in which he was putting forward his opinions, and the part played by colleagues and opponents in influencing policy, are illustrated throughout by other peoples letters, diaries, and documents, most published here for the first time." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. The Official Biography, 8 vols 1966-1988. All first editions published by Heinemann. With The Companion Volumes, 13 vols 1967-1982. All first editions published by Heinemann. With The Churchill War Papers, 3 vols, 1993-2000. All first editions published by Heinemann.

Bound in full red morocco gilt, all edges gilt, flat bands to spine, Churchill coat of arms to front board with gilt fillet round the edges. Scarlet endpapers. Red cloth slipcases blocked with the Churchill coat of arms. The last 7 vols of The Churchill Documents have been bound to match. There is a slight difference in the shade of red morocco, but otherwise the grain of the leather, tooling, typeface, colour of gold, endpapers and slipcases have all been matched perfectly. Vols 1 & 3 of The Churchill War Papers have been signed on the title page by the editor Martin Gilbert. There are no other marks, annotation, bookplates or ownership marks. 31 vols extending to just over 7 feet of shelf space. Work on the biography was begun in 1961 and not completed until 2019, 58 years later. The official biography is by some way the longest biography ever written on any person. Sir Isaiah Berlin described Churchill as 'a man larger than life, composed of bigger and simpler elements than ordinary men, a gigantic historical figure during his own lifetime, superhumanly bold, strong and imaginative, an orator of prodigious powers, the saviour of his country, a mythical hero who belongs to legend as much as to reality, the largest human being of our time.' (Quoted in PMM 424). A magnificent set of a monumental work, and probably the finest set in existence. Shipping extra at cost.
