CHURCHILL, WINSTON S. [SPENCER]; HASTINGS, MAX (INTRODUCTION)

My Early Life: A Roving Commission (the Keystone Library)

Thornton Butterworth, Ltd, London, 1937. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 2nd printing of The Keystone Library edition, following five printings of the original edition. No jacket. Hinges just starting, boards a bit rubbed. Text clean & unmarked. Acquired from the private collection of Dr. Daniel Sperber, a prominent nuclear theorist. 1937 Hard Cover. xxiv, [2], 392 pp. 8 7/8 x 6 1/8. 8vo. Original purple cloth, gilt titles. Maps, black & white illustrations. 16 other Churchill titles listed on half-title page (through India: Speeches). My Early Life: A Roving Commission is a 1930 book by Winston Churchill. It is an autobiography of his life from birth in 1874 up to approximately 1902. A significant portion of the book covers his experiences in the Second Boer War which he earlier described in London to Ladysmith via Pretoria (1900) and Ian Hamilton's March (1900), together with descriptions of other campaigns he had previously written about; The River War (1899) concerning the reconquest of Sudan and The Story of the Malakand Field Force (1898) in today's Pakistan. The book also describes his childhood and schooldays, and events between those he had previously published. The introduction notes that Churchill endeavoured to write the book from his point of view at the time of the events, but it contains different commentaries on the events described in the other books, many of which were originally written as contemporary newspaper columns. From his perspective of writing in 1930, he notes that he has 'drawn a picture of a vanished age'. The book also notes an observation by the French ambassador to Britain between 1900 and 1920, that during his time a silent revolution had occurred which totally replaced the ruling class of Britain. The book was published after the Conservative Party lost the 1929 election and consequently Churchill ceased to be a member of the government. He occupied himself instead writing a number of books, which together with public speaking was his chief source of income throughout his life. However, most of My Early Life was written during the parliamentary recess in the summer of 1928. He wrote to Stanley Baldwin, 'I have had a delightful month - building a cottage and dictating a book: 200 bricks and 2000 words per day.' The first English edition published by Thornton Butterworth in October 1930 sold 11,200 copies, and the American edition published by Charles Scribner's Sons sold 6,600. Scribner's titled the book by the name of its UK subtitle, A Roving Commission. It was translated into thirteen languages. It has been considered by some to be his best book and one of the outstanding works of the 20th century. This is because it was deliberately written to be much shorter than his typical books, with a slight sense of irony and an intention to entertain. It contains a certain level of self-mockery alongside criticism of others he encountered. Unlike some other of his works, it did not seek to prove any particular point. The book includes an observation made upon the death of his nanny. He wrote 'She had been my dearest and most intimate friend during the whole of the twenty years I had lived.' The film Young Winston was based on this title.

Armageddon. The battle for Germany, 1944-45

Macmillan Children's Books, 2004. Pp: 664. British military historian Hastings has searched the archives of the major combatants and interviewed 170 survivors to give an understanding of how the great battles were fought, and of their human impact on American, British, German, and Russian soldiers and civilians. He raises provocative questions: Were the Western Allied cause and campaign compromised by a desire to get the Soviets to do most of the fighting? Why were the Russians and Germans more effective soldiers than the Americans and British? Why did the bombing of Germany's cities continue until the last weeks of the war, when it could no longer influence the outcome? Why did the Germans prove more fanatical foes than the Japanese, fighting to the bitter end? . ISBN: 9780333908365. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
