Winston S. Churchill. Volume II. Young Statesman. 1901-1914

Great Britain/USA: Houghton Mifflin/Riverside Press, 1967. Young Statesman takes of the story of Churchill's life to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. On February 14, 1901, Churchill took his seat in the House of Commons at the age of twenty-six. He was poised for the career, Shakesperean in its drama and scope, that was to take him through success and denigration, through years in the political wilderness while lesser men compromised, until, unyieldingly firm in his beliefs, he eventually became the dogged and inspiring symbol of a world at bay. This volume shows explicitly the forging and tightening of that mainspring which drove him for so long. illustrated with photos and maps.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
