"Churchill's ability as a writer, or as a painter
far out-weighted his military ability. His early military
career was nothing short of a disaster and helped
contribute to countless and unnecessary deaths.
With the outbreak of the Second World War his
past was soon forgotten as he morphed spectacularly
into the role of statesman and saviour."

"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic
an Iron Curtain has descended across the Continent."
These prophetic words were part of a speech Churchill
gave in 1946 at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri, USA.

Apologies over the listing. We know there was no dust-jacket as we did not mention it on the overall preview as we would usually do. The dust-jacket shown is a pre-determined option on the Catawiki listing and it must have been ticked in error. The author mentioned referred to a previous sale "British Destroyers. A History of Development 1892-1953. Drawn by Admiralty Permission" which is a very similiar book in its presentation. Again we offer our apology. Kind Regards Tom

Adeptly packaged, with care given to ensure each book individually wrapped and items received within time frame. Books as described. Excellent quality.
