Description
This is a very good copy of the First American edition,without a dust jacket, virtually mint, save for a clipped corner to the front free endpaper.
British-born Phyllis Moir worked for Churchill on his visit to the USA in 1931. She leveraged this unique experience into a book that remains a fascinating, early insider account; one that was disapproved of by Churchill, his family and staff at the time. Today it is a very rare and valuable book.
