Description
This is a very good First English edition set in dust jackets that are unclipped and intact but age-darkened, particularly along the spines. The spine of Volume III is also creased at the tail. The books are in handsome condition, the bindings crisp and tight, the contents fine and unfoxed.
Churchill favored greatly the beautiful design of this edition. The set is quite scarce today.

Collector's Guide
The War Speeches (“Definitive Edition”) repackaged the texts of the original seven, individually-published, wartime volumes of Churchill’s war speeches as a very handsomely produced three-volume set. While “Definitive,” this set was not entirely complete; a handful of speeches deemed to be of “reduced significance” were omitted. Churchill favored greatly the beautiful design of this edition.
