Winston Churchill signs a copy of Volume I of his memoir ''The Second World War.'' Cassell & Co. Ltd: London: 1948. The volume, entitled ''The Gathering Storm,'' is signed upon the half title page: ''Inscribed for M. Jacques Robert by Winston S. Churchill / 1948''. The theme of the book, covering the years from WWI to 1940, is ''how the English-speaking peoples through their unwisdom, carelessness and good nature allowed the wicked to rearm.'' Churchill was no longer Prime Minister when he wrote his six volume memoir, and controversy erupted over his use of official records to write his book. He was, however, granted special access by Prime Minister Clement Attlee because of Churchill's exceptional status. The elegantly bound volume with 5.5'' x 8.25'' red boards and gold edges is housed in its original wooden slipcase. Overall in very good condition. A riveting signed account of WWII signed by England's tireless guardian.
