By Winston S. Churchill
"Winston S. Churchill's A History of the English-Speaking Peoples stands as one of the defining historical works of the twentieth century, written over decades and completed only after the Second World War had cemented Churchill's reputation as both statesman and storyteller. Across four volumes—The Birth of Britain, The New World, The Age of Revolution, and The Great Democracies—Churchill traces the development of the English-speaking world from its early medieval foundations through exploration, revolution, constitutional change and the maturation of democratic societies. With his hallmark narrative drive, he highlights pivotal moments such as the Norman Conquest, the rise of parliamentary authority, the forging of America, and the shared political traditions that shaped Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and beyond.
This attractive 1966 Dodd, Mead 10th printing set presents the complete four-volume sequence, each with its original dust jacket and clear, bold typography typical of mid-century American editions. Churchill's sweeping historical vision offers both a compelling narrative and a reflection of the mid-century outlook that sought unity and continuity among English-speaking nations. A cornerstone historical work that remains highly readable, this set will appeal to collectors of Churchill first and early editions, enthusiasts of political and military history, and readers interested in the shared cultural and institutional heritage of the English-speaking world."
