About this Item

A collector-grade, as-new, set of this six-volume Russian edition. The attractively illustrated bindings are clean and unworn, with sharp unbumped edges and corners. Inside, the contents are immaculate, with no ownership inscriptions or other markings of any kind. While Winston S. Churchill was a prolific author, his 'Memoirs of the Second World War' were probably the most important work he ever produced. As historian David Reynolds says, "The volumes combine wartime documents and postwar reflection; they incorporate the work of Churchill and of his assistants; they reflect the deadlines imposed by his publishers and by his own political agenda; they involve self-analysis as well as self-justification. The six volumes represent the labor of eight years, during one of the most active and diverse decades of Churchill's formidably energetic life" Perhaps most importantly of all they resulted in the transition of Churchill's life from that of a politician with a wealthy man's tastes to a wealthy politician with a wealthy man's tastes.
