A very good copy, without dust jacket. The spine is a bit faded, the cloth is otherwise clean and bright. The contents are fine, with a tiny, vintage bookshop plate on the front pastedown.
Thiis is the second volume of Churchill’s collected postwar speeches (1947-1948), one of only 2,500 copies published. As leader of the Opposition in Parliament, Churchill, shocked some listeners with these speeches by suggesting that the only salvation for war-torn Europe was in rapprochement between France and Germany. The Soviet threat and Berlin airlift are also frequently addressed.
