Sobre este artículo
Educational Book Company,, [1956-58]. 4 vols., roy. 8vo., First Edition thus, with very numerous plates, and maps and genealogical tables (the majority full-page) in the text; original full blue buckram, upper boards ruled and lettered in gilt, backs blocked and lettered in gilt with red morocco labels framed and lettered in gilt, blue tops, backstrips mildly age-soiled else a very good, bright, clean, crisp copy. The set comprises: Vol. I: The Birth of Britain; Vol. II: The New World; Vol. III: The Age of Revolution; Vol. IV: The Great Democracies. 'I agreed to allow the publishers of the illustrated edition of 'The Second World War' to name it after my country home near Westerham in Kent where so much of it had been written. As these special volumes of 'A History of the English-Speaking Peoples', also illustrated, are being brought out as a companion set, I feel it is appropriate that they, too, should be known as the 'Chartwell' edition' (Winston S. Churchill). This splendid edition of Churchill's last major work was issued on a subscription basis. See Woods, p.125.
