London: The Educational Book Company Ltd,, 1956-58. The Chartwell Edition, the first illustrated edition of Churchill's grand history of Britain, the British Empire, and the United States, the second overall. Churchill began his history during his period in the political wilderness in the early 1930s but did not complete it until the latter 1950s, after his final retirement as prime minister. The events of the Second World War, the major interruption in the writing process, had reconfirmed his belief in the "special relationship", the shared heritage and destiny of Britain and the United States. Consequently he gave considerable attention to the key events of American history, especially the War of Independence and the Civil War. The work met with acclaim and proved an international best-seller, further vindicating Churchill's receipt of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. A masterpiece of readable, popular history, it remains in print today. 4 volumes, large octavo. Original blue cloth, gilt-panelled spines with red sheep labels lettered in gilt, front covers lettered and ruled in gilt, top edges blue, blue and white endbands. Prolifically illustrated with plates, diagrams, and tables. Title pages ruled in red.
