About this Item

Amid These Storms, Thoughts and Adventures By The Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill, C.H., M.P. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. 1932. First U.S. Edition (only printing) with Dust Jacket, 320 pp, 8.5 x 6", 8vo. In fair condition. Dust jacket shows the most wear with a large chip to tail of dust jacket's spine "er's" in Scribner's is lacking. Top edge of dust jacket exhibits small chips, title still legible. Red bordering on dust jacket's spine moderately dulled, but on front cover remains bright. Scuffing along dust jacket's creases, general toning to white rear cover and flaps. Red cloth boards lightly rubbed at edges and corners. Head and tail of spine bumped. Gilt lettering soiled, but still legible. Finger soiling or scuff marks visible on rear board's red cloth. Text-block lightly toned around edges of leaves, but is otherwise clean. Binding tight and intact. Please see photos. Published in Britain as Thoughts and Adventures, this is one of the few Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965) first editions for which the U.S. edition bears a different title than the British. The U.S. first edition text was photo-reproduced from the British first edition, but everything else about the edition differs markedly from its British counterpart. The bright red-orange coarse cloth binding of Amid These Storms matches the style of the 1930 U.S. first edition of A Roving Commission but the dust jacket for Amid These Storms is strikingly unique. It bears a full length photo of Churchill in Flanders in 1916, wearing his French Poilu's helmet. This image appears on both the spine and front cover. A First (and Only) U.S. Printing with RARE intact Dust Jacket! Churchill even says, ."although there is no one single theme, it has some of the best things in it I have ever written."
