The River War
Longmans & Co., 1899.
Two volumes. Volume one a first edition and volume two being the second impression. 8vo. Both in original black cloth with gilt titles and decorations to spine and upper cover. Seven photogravure plates and thirty-four plans and fold out maps, as well as many illustrations by Angus McNeill in the text. A very good set indeed, the gilt bright to the covers, with occasional light foxing to the interior and the front hinge of volume II neatly repaired and rear hinge tender.
Churchill's second book, based on his despatches to the Morning Post "as a war correspondent attached to the 21st Lancers, one of the regiments despatched, as part of Kitchener's forces, to reconquer Sudan" (Cohen).
