Collector's Guide
Arms and the Covenant captures Churchill’s initial alarms against Hitler and the Nazis in forty-one prophetic pre-war speeches delivered from 1928-1938, edited by his son Randolph. Published in the U.S. under the title While England Slept, the book, according to FDR, sat on his White House nightstand in 1938.
Description
This is a virtually mint copy of the Third Impression of the First American edition, without dust jacket. As-new, save for very faint creasing along the spine, three dots of foxing to the fore-edge.
Discreetly ink-stamped: “Editorial Copy” on the rear free endpaper.
