THE SECOND WORLD WAR - complete set of 6 volumes (1948 - 1954) with original dust jackets

As one of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century Winston Churchill certainly needs no introduction, but it is sometimes opportune to mention that, apart from international politics, he also found time to master painting and writing. For his writings he was awarded the 1953 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Here are all six volumes of Churchill's magisterial work on the SECOND WORLD WAR. There can certainly be no greater authority on this subject than Churchill himself. All six volumes are first editions and have their original jackets.
