Chartwell Edition, being the first illustrated edition. Four volumes. 8vo. Original blue cloth, stamped in gilt, with gilt-stamped red morocco labels to spines.

A fine set, exceptionally bright and crisp, with just one or two tiny short closed tears to the glassine dustwrappers.
Churchill's great history of the Anglosphere. This set of works takes its name from Churchill's house Chartwell, where much of it was written. A handsome set, much enhanced by the maps, charts and photographs. As with the first illustrated edition of The Second World War, Churchill invited the publishers to name it after the country house where most of the work was written.
With the exception of the first volume, which was published a week after the first edition, each volume was issued concurrently with the Cassell edition.
