Winston Churchill / The World Crisis 1st Edition 1931

Description: The World Crisis Author: Winston Churchill Title: The World Crisis Publication: New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1931 Edition: 1st Edition Description: Hardcover. "The World Crisis" by Winston Churchill. First American edition thus from Charles Scribner's Sons in 1931. The Scribner's "A" on the copyright page means that it is a first printing as well. This volume is a revision and abridgment of the work previously published in four volumes. Illustrated throughout with maps. 6.75'' x 9.5'', 866 pages. A previous owner, Kay Halle, left an inscription for a friend on the front endpaper. This particular signature is of historical interest because Halle--a journalist, socialite, and World War Two-era spy from Cleveland--was a personal friend of the Churchill family, and was in fact the lover of Churchill's son Randolph. She was also close to the Kennedy family, and was linked (either in friendship or romance) to many of the 20th century's political and artistic greats, including George Gershwin, Averell Harriman, Walter Lippmann, and Buckminster Fuller. The book is in very good minus condition. Some shelf wear, including cloth tearing, to the spine, and some bumping and scuffing to the corners. The blue cloth boards and spine are somewhat toned and slightly discolored in places, but the gilt lettering on the spine is intact. Occasional markings in pen and pencil (including the aforementioned inscription) and slight foxing/staining to the endpapers and pastedowns. The binding is cracked on the rear hinge. The text block and illustrations are toned, but bright, largely clean, and complete. The quality of the text, along with the fascinating bacstor behind the inscription, will make this a must-have for any student of history.
