Churchill marcou a história de forma indelével devido principalmente à sua capacidade de resistir a todos os falhanços que enfrentou durante a sua longa carreira política e á coragem com que fez frente, sozinho durante 1939-1941, à Alemanha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVárias referências a Portugal, Salazar, Cabo Verde, Açores e Moçambique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportante fonte histórica, com qualidade literária,  para o conhecimento da 2ª Guerra Mundial e da posição de Portugal durante o conflito.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[EN] First illustrated Edition published by Educational Book Co., Ltd., London,  in 1955. In a special note to this edition dated 1 October 1954, the author writes: “Now a special edition is being published illustrated for the first time, in which all those first minor errors have been corrected.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus this beautiful edition produces an entirely new text in fine readable large type, along with hundreds of illustrations on cEach volume contains a colour frontispiece and three-colour maps, silk head and tail bands and duplex endpapers, although the folding maps of the First English Edition are eliminated. There were no dust jackets; the volumes instead carried plain glassine wrappers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe books were offered by mail order in early 1955 in thick, stout boards bound in two versions by “Britain’s finest craftsmen” which were rightly described as “beautiful examples of the Bookbinders’ art.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Standard edition (the one of the present copy) is bound in red canvas, titles on brown leather spine panels; on top boards the volume title gilt with a specially commissioned embossed medallion of Churchill on a leather label\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deluxe edition: quarter blue “Oasis” morocco leather with art vellum cloth, beveller boards, spine blocked gilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful edition is the most elaborate and luxurious rendering of Churchill’s war memoirs, and would be the second set to add after a First English Edition—which it complements nicely, being not only profusely illustrated but fully corrected with all of Churchill’s revisions since the original volumes. The Standard binding has lately become scarce in truly fine condition (perfect spine labels, bright colours, no interior gutterbreaks and has risen dramatically in value. Gutterbreaks are common on these large, thick volumes, and the leather spine labels of Standard bindings are often chipped; such sets sell for half these prices, but even then, they are worth it; this is a truly desirable edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRef.: Chartwell Booksellers website\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garimpo dos Livros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58295812686156,"sku":"1606PG015","price":3600.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1066\/5617\/0316\/files\/1606PG015_1.jpg?v=1785851074","url":"https:\/\/garimpodoslivros.com.br\/products\/the-second-world-war","provider":"Garimpo dos Livros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
