By Winston S. Churchill
"This compelling three-volume set of Winston S. Churchill's wartime speeches captures the voice and leadership that defined Britain's resolve during its darkest and most decisive years. Comprising Into Battle (1941), Onwards to Victory (1943), and The Dawn of Liberation (1945), these volumes present Churchill's speeches as they were delivered to Parliament, the nation, and the world, tracing the arc from the early uncertainty of war through to ultimate Allied triumph. Together, they form a powerful and historically significant record of rhetoric that shaped public morale and global perception during World War II.
Published by Cassell and Company Ltd across London, Toronto, Melbourne, and Sydney, this set includes early editions, with Into Battle noted as a 1941 printing and the later volumes reflecting wartime and immediate post-war publication. Compiled by Randolph S. Churchill and Charles Eade, the volumes include frontispieces and selected plates, along with detailed contents listing key speeches such as "The First Month of War," "The Spirit of the Empire," and wartime addresses to Allied forces and international audiences. These works remain among the most enduring examples of political oratory ever printed.
The books are presented in their original cloth bindings with accompanying dust jackets, showing noticeable wear, chipping, and loss consistent with age, particularly to the spines and edges as shown. Internally, the volumes remain clean, well-preserved, and highly readable, with firm bindings and no major defects. A classic and collectible wartime set, these volumes appeal strongly to collectors of military history, Churchilliana, and 20th-century political history."
General wear and some chipping/loss to unclipped dustjackets with some tape repairs to rear side. Binding across the 4 volumes is good with no loose pages. No inscriptions. Pages clean and very well presented. A nice 3 volume collection in very good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
