Sir Martin Gilbert elaborates on the reasons why, in this first volume of his majestic three-volume history. This mint paperback copy has been SIGNED by the author on the tile page.   A Very Surprising WARTIME TYPED LETTER SIGNED by Winston Churchill  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  14530.jpgA fascinating, almost inexplicable letter, difficult to reconcile with Churchill's legendary stature as a pre-war Cassandra of the Nazi threat. Written on Chartwell letterhead, dated 11 May 1939, to Mons. Alexander Schifrin: "Dear Sir (in Churchill's hand), "I thank you for sending me your book, which I have looked into with some attention. I think you greatly exaggerate the military strength of both Russia and Germany, particularly the former. I am much obliged to you for your courtesy. Sincerely (again in Churchill's hand), W. Churchill." The book referred to here is THE MILITARY STRENGTH OF THE POWERS, by Max Werner, a.k.a. Alexander Schifrin (1901-1951), a self-taught military analyst, who early on foresaw the threat of a major world war and turned his energies to estimating the military strength and preparedness of the likely protagonists. Born Aleksandr Shfrig in Kharkov, Ukraine in 1901, Schifrin was a Menshivik, exiled soon after the Bolshevik victory in the revolution. It appears that he first went to Palestine, where he had family, and from there to Germany, where he settled. Turning to journalism, he became widely-known as the political editor of the socialist paper Mannheimer Volksstimme. When the Nazis assumed power, Schifrin fled to France. There he quickly discovered how ignorant the French military authorities were of the German preparations for war. In an interview with Air Minister Pierre Cot, Schifrin was finally asked by Cot where he'd gotten his information. "From the military library at Vincennes," responded Schifrin. "Why was I never given this information?" thundered Cot. Schifrin was astounded and so indignant at what he regarded to be the French military's criminal incompetence, he set out to write his first book, THE MILITARY STRENGTH OF THE POWERS. (Original title: TOWARDS THE SECOND WORLD WAR.) When the Nazis invaded France, Schifrin fled to the U.S., where he wrote under the name Max Werner. Despite Churchill's assessment of his work, Werner became a highly regarded columnist and the author of many astute, if controversial, books about the military course of the war.   BLOOD, TOIL, TEARS AND SWEAT: The Dire Warning: Churchill's First Speech as Prime Minister  Autographed  1  $49.99 ex VAT  13997.jpgThe author of the acclaimed FIVE DAYS IN LONDON applies his brilliant gifts for historical dissection to Churchill's at-the-time little-appreciated maiden speech as Prime Minister, which gave the still-nascent Second World its first taste of Churchillian phrasemaking. New, in dust jacket. This copy has been SIGNED by the author in ink on the title page.   CHRISTMAS CARD from Winston Churchill to his son, Randolph Churchill  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  8302.jpgINSCRIBED entirely in Churchill's hand: "To Randolph & June from Winston S. Churchill," beneath the printed greeting: "With Christmas Thoughts and Wishes." The inscription is in black ink, save for the words "& June," which are in blue ink. Winston Churchill's son Randolph and June Osborne became engaged in October 1948 and were married just a few weeks later on the 2nd of November. For the elder Churchill, June's name was clearly an afterthought on this Christmas card sent to his son that year. Tipped-onto the card face is a color print of Churchill's painting "St Georges Motel." During the 1930's, Churchill came regularly to St. Georges, a chateau approximately 50 miles from Paris, to relax and to paint, staying as a guest of the owners, Jacques and Consuelo Balsan. His last visit was before the war in August 1939. In her book, WINSTON CHURCHILL: His Life as a Painter, Churchill's daughter, Mary Soames, wrote of this last peacetime holiday for her father, "Mr. Churchill grew graver and graver as he sat wrapped in thought, and then said slowly and sorrowfully: ÔBefore the harvest is gathered in - we shall be at war.'" This card was given by Randolph Churchill to Grace Reed, who worked for him at his London home in the late 1940's and early 1950's as a member of his housekeeping staff. The card was acquired directly from the Reed family.   CHURCHILL AND AMERICA  Autographed  1  $89.99 ex VAT  10139.jpg"Never be separated from the Americans," said Winston Churchill to his cabinet, in his final words as Prime Minister in 1955.

This First American edition hardcover copy has been SIGNED by the author in ink on the title page.

This is a mint First American edition, in dust jacket, SIGNED by the author in ink on the title page.   Framed CANDID SNAPSHOT PHOTOGRAPH SIGNED by Winston Churchill in North Africa  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  11782.jpgA singular signed Churchill souvenir of the war: two original snapshot photographs (3 x 4 inches each) of the Prime Minister visiting in August 1942 the Abbassia Barracks in Cairo, headquarters for Britain's Eighth Army in the Middle East. The snapshots are affixed to an album page, with inked notations "L[eft]: P.M. Churchill & A.C.M. Brooke. R[ight]: P.M. Churchill & ACM Tedder. Ab[b]assia 1942." The photograph on the left, with General Alan Brooke (who also appears in the background of the photo with Air Marshall Tedder), has been SIGNED in ink: "WINSTON S. CHURCHILL" across the lower portion of the image. Churchill visited the Eighth Army in Cairo twice during the month of August 1942, on his way to and back from his meeting with Stalin in Moscow. Abbassia was a huge garrison with shops, churches, cinemas. It even had an internal bus service. All the barracks had been built by the Turks during their occupation before the First World War and were renamed by the Allies after their victory. The snapshot page is here matted and handsomely framed in black walnut (11 x 14 inches overall). A cache of letters from home, no doubt addressed to the soldier who took these pictures, is included.   Framed WARTIME AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED by "Monty" to Dwight Eisenhower  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  12769.jpgAn intimate fragment of World War II history. British Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery had previously written two pamphlets for officers in his 8th Army, under the title: "Some Notes on High Command." This letter, on letterhead of "TAC Headquarters, 21 Army Group," (4 1/4 x 7 inches) dated "23-12-44," was sent to the Supreme Allied Commander, General Dwight D. Eisenhower. "My dear Ike," (all in "Montgomery's hand), "This is my third, and last, pamphlet. I enclose you six copies. Yrs. ever, Monty." On December 23, 1944, the Battle of the Bulge was at its height, and Patton's Third Army was being pounded. German divisions in the Ardennes Offensive had surrounded and were attempting to capture the Belgian town of Bastogne, which was held by the American 101st Airborne Division and Combat Command B of the U.S. 10th Armored Division. On December 20, Eisenhower had removed the 1st and 9th American Armies from General Omar Bradley's 12th Army Group and placed them under Montgomery's command. Bradley threatened to resign but didn't. Montgomery counter-attacked, and by the end of January 1945, the Germans were defeated. Montgomery took full credit for saving the American Armies, infuriating Eisenhower, who already nursed a sizeable antipathy toward Montgomery. The letter bears an appropriate glimmer of Monty's gloating back at Eisenhower. It is here mounted with a vintage Dutch postcard image of the two men, and is beautifully framed in black walnut (17 x 21 inches overall).   Framed WARTIME TYPED LETTER SIGNED by Winston Churchill  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  10352.jpgOn embossed letterhead of the Prime Minster, 10 Downing Street, Whitehall, dated: "New Year, 1944. Dear Captain Strecker, I wish to send you my warmest thanks for the services rendered by the Military Police during my stay in Marakech. The efficient yet unobtrusive way in which they carried out their duties added greatly to my comfort and convenience. I would be obliged if you would convey this expression of my appreciation to the officers and men, both uniformed and in plain clothes, who are employed under your command. Yours very truly, [in ink:] Winston S. Churchill." In the wake of the Cairo conference, with planning for Operation Overlord just heating up, Churchill suffered two mild heart attacks. On December 27, 1943, he flew with his wife Clementine from Carthage to Marakesh for three weeks of rest at Villa Taylor; "Flower Villa," as he and FDR had referred to it during their time together there. "I propose to stay here in the sunshine till I am quite strong again," Churchill informed Lord Beaverbrook, who flew in from London to join him. Churchill would be visited during this stay by every military figure of importance to him, from Montgomery and Eisenhower, to De Gaulle. As he wrote to FDR, "Flower Villa is perfect. The weather is bright, though cool. The cook is a marvel. We go for picnics to the mountains. Last night Eisenhower was with us on his way to you, and I had long talks with him. Montgomery is here now. I think we have a fine team, and they certainly mean to pull together." The letter is in very good condition, very lightly foxed, with a file hole-punch at upper left corner that has been professionally sealed. The letter has faded a bit with age but is quite lovely overall. It is here matted and superbly framed (17 1/2 x 23 inches overall) with a handsome vintage press photograph of Churchill taken during his convalescence.   HIS FATHER'S SON: The Life of Randolph Churchill  Autographed  1  $69.99 ex VAT  9413.jpgA very frank reassessment of the life of Winston Churchill's only son, the brilliant and deeply troubled Randolph, by Randolph Churchill's own son, Winston.

Caird, from Winston S. Churchill."Sir James Key Caird (1837-1916) was a wealthy Dundee, Scottland jute manufacturer and philanthropist, who would be rememberd for financing Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 "Endurance" expedition to the North Pole. Winston Churchill was MP for Dundee from 1908 to 1922. Thus, the publication of this one-volume edition of LORD RANDOLPH, coincided with the approach of Churchill's first Dundee election campaign. Churchill was at this point President of the Board of Trade. Cordial relations with Sir James Caird certainly must have been a priority for him. The leather binding here is three-quarter deep red morocco over the original cloth boards, the spines gilt lettered in six compartments with raised bands. The binding is a trifle shelfworn and professionally repaired along the hinges and joints. The contents are fine and unfoxed, the front endpaper exhibiting some toning and a faint paperclip shadow. The frontis photo tissue guard has taken on a ghostly shadow of the Randolph Churchill portrait it protects. Else fine.

The image was featured on the cover of Time magazine that year and the original painting was purchased by Bernard Baruch for $25,000 and presented by him to the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in 1960. This mounted color print of the painting (7 1/ x 9 1/4 inches) is SIGNED and dated in ink: "Winston S. Churchill, 1949" on the mount (10 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches overall). The print is in beautiful condition, delicately tipped onto the mount, which is just a bit darkened with age, else fine. [Douglas Chandor enrolled at London's Slade School of Fine Art after being discharged with wounds towards the close of World War I. His first major commission was of the barrister Sir Edward Marshall-Hall. When the finished work was exhibited at the Royal Academy it attracted numerous further commissions including one to paint the Prince of Wales, later Duke of Windsor. This portrait drew "half London" to the Grieves Gallery. Chandor's first exhibition in New York in 1927 led to an invitation to paint President Hoover and his entire cabinet. Together with his earlier British "Society" work, the Presidential commission helped establish Chandor as one of the world's foremost political portraitists.]   SIGNED Formal Portrait Photograph of CLEMENTINE CHURCHILL  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  10584.jpgSumptuous 3/4-length formal portrait photograph of Clementine Churchill taken by the most important female British photographer of the period, Dorothy Wilding (1893-1976). Wilding was the first woman to be Official Royal Photographer, appointed for the 1937 Coronation. She began her photographic career as an apprentice to Bond Street photographer Marian Neilson, before going out on her in London and then opening a second studio in New York City in 1937, which quickly became a magnet for the rich and famous. Her autobiography "In Pursuit of Perfection" was published in 1958. Her archives were presented to the National Portrait Gallery in London and formed the basis of a major retrospective exhibition in 1991. This sepia-toned gelatin silver print is signed in black ink by Wilding in the lower left corner and is mounted on a delicate paper mount that has been SIGNED boldly: "Clementine S. Churchill" in blue ink, below the image. The mounted print, in turn, is remounted on heavy card stock (6 3/4 x 10 3/4 inches overall), with the studio plate of Dorothy Wilding affixed to verso and numbered in pencil: "No. 012065 A." A precious piece.   SIGNED Formal Portrait PHOTOGRAPH of Winston Churchill as Prime Minister  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  13051.jpgOne of the most powerful photographs of Winston Churchill ever made, an image with the gravitas of Karsh's classic "Angry Lion." The photographer, Walter Stoneman (1876-1958), regularly photographed Churchill for the portrait firm J. Russell & Sons. Working this time for the National Photographic Record, Stoneman, sensing the historical significance of the sitting, recorded not just the date but the hour that his picture was taken: "3pm 1 April 1941." On that date Churchill was awaiting word of Germany's invasion of Yugoslavia. Decrypted German Enigma messages had not only enabled him to predict Germany's Balkan plans, it had revealed to him what he called Germany's "magnitude of design" against it's ally, Russia. As a result, Churchill made the dangerous decision to send a personal message of warning to Joseph Stalin. It was a message that Stalin would choose to ignore. Reputedly, a copy of this image was kept by Stalin on his desk in the Kremlin. Stoneman also presented a copy to the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London. This print measures 6 x 8 inches and is SIGNED and dated on the mount in ink: "Winston S. Churchill, 1943." There is light diagonal soiling in a limited area across the top of the photograph and between Churchill's hands. There are also two faint dents in the print, on Churchill's right lapel and in a blank area to his left. The print is otherwise in beautiful condition. It is here spectacularly framed in a linen mat (21 x 24 inches overall).   THE RIVER WAR: An Historical Account of the Reconquest of the Soudan  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  14221.jpgThis is a very good copy of the First Abridged One-Volume English edition. It has been SIGNED in ink on the half-title: "From Winston S. Churchill." Due to the low print of run of 1,000 copies, this edition is actually much rarer than the two-volume First Edition. Ronald Cohen, in his new bibliography, reports that sixty copies were reserved for presentation; perhaps including this one. The text here was thoroughly revised and corrected by Churchill and reduced in length by approximately one-third; it also contains an excellent new Preface. This copy is in handsome condition, the cloth a deep red, the gilt bright, the contents clean, very square, tight and unfoxed. There is some slight rubbing along the lower edge of the front board as well as a smattering of white stains along the front joint and on the spine. There is a one-inch closed tear and another shorter closed tear to the cloth at the tail of the spine. Else fine. A spectacular copy overall of a book very rarely seen, let alone signed.   THE GATHERING STORM (Volume I of "The Second World War")  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  8736.jpgThe first volume of Churchill's MEMOIRS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR in the very fragile First French edition, SIGNED and dated in ink on the front free endpaper: "Winston S. Churchill, 1955." This was the first of twelve small softcover volumes that comprised the complete French issue. It contains Churchill's amended Foreword exonerating the French "poilu" for their wartime failures. The pictorial dust jacket is lightly chipped and worn, reinforced internally, but entirely intact. Contents fine, pages browned with age. A spectacular rarity preserved in a handsome burgundy cloth clamshell solander with a gilt-lettered leather spine.   THE GREAT REPUBLIC: A History of America  Autographed  1  $229.99 ex VAT  9435.jpgTHE GREAT REPUBLIC effectively constitutes a new Churchill work, culled by his grandson, Winston S. Churchill (son of Randolph) from previously-published Churchill writings about the U.S. (most particularly his HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES). This mint First American Edition hardcover has been signed by the editor, "Winston S. Churchill" on the 2nd front free endpaper.   THE STORY OF THE MALAKAND FIELD FORCE  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  14067.jpgThis First Colonial Library edition is inscribed and SIGNED on the half-title to: " - -, from the Author," a form of inscription that we have never before encountered in a book signed by Winston Churchill. The book has been sumptuously rebound in full crimson morocco by Bayntun Riviere of Bath, the front board bearing Churchill's facsimile signature in gilt, the spine gilt lettered with raised bands in seven compartments that also contain the Churchill rampant lion crest repeated. All edges are gilt, and the endpapers are marbled, with leather and gilt trim. The harsher climate conditions generally resulted in low survival rates for Colonial Library editions, which were "intended for circulation only in India and the British colonies." The faded original front cover here, which has been bound in at the rear, bears witness to this. Contents are fine, however, and surprisingly unfoxed, with some very modest professional page repair to the prelims. Frontispiece tissue and all maps are present. This copy is also distinguished by two variants cited by Cohen in his new bibliography. The printed number for page 231 bears the "raised 1." And the errata slip is that which Cohen suggests was Indian in origin, preceding the domestic errata because Churchill was in India at the time of MALAKAND's publication and anxious to "catch the Indian edition," where the First edition's many legendary proofing errors, "would be most laughed at." A wonderful and singular rarity. Copies of MALAKAND are very rarely seen signed and copies of the First Colonial Library edition with these variants are very seldom seen at all.   THE WORLD CRISIS  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  8746.jpgThis is a very good First English edition set, SIGNED: "Winston S. Churchill" in ink on the second front free endpaper of VOLUME II. The first five books are in their extraordinarily rare, correct First Edition, unclipped dust jackets. Books 1 and 2 (VOLUMES I & II) jackets are complete and marvelously fresh and bright, front and rear, with some darkening and light wear to the spines and a touch of ink transfer across the front face of Book 2. Book 3 (VOLUME III/Part 1) jacket has a loss of perhaps one-half-inch across the spine head, wrapping around the front and rear, as well as small gaps along the front jacket fold. Book 4 (VOLUME III/Part 2) jacket has fractional loss at the spine head and along the top rear edge. Book 5 (THE AFTERMATH) jacket is virtually mint. Book 1 has the general errata slip tipped-in at page 1. Book 2 signature page is moderately toned along the inner margin only. Book 5 has the errata slip tipped-in at page 9. Book 6 (THE EASTERN FRONT) is in a color xerox of its original dust jacket. Spots of foxing appear on the fore-edges of Books 3-5 only, the set is otherwise unfoxed and pristine.   THE YOUNG CHURCHILL  Autographed  1  $69.99 ex VAT  24.jpgWinston Churchill's formative years re-examined by his granddaughter utilizing a great deal of never-before-published material from family archives. This First American edition is SIGNED by the author in ink on the title page. A very good copy, in dust jacket.   Two TYPED LETTERS SIGNED by Winston Churchill  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  3869.jpgTwo related letters from Winston Churchill, written while out of office during the General Election of 1950, to Walter Layton, Chairman of The News Chronicle. The first is a single page on Chartwell letterhead, dated 26 January, 1950: "My dear Layton, I was surprised to see in the NEWS CHRONICLE...the enclosed picture of a cheering crowd published without any caption, and placed immediately over the result of the first Ô Gallup Election Poll, ' and the headline Ô Tory lead dramatically narrowed. ' Anyone would suppose that the picture was related to the headline...Enquiry however shows that the picture appeared in the GLASGOW HERALD in 1948 on the occasion of the announcement of the Paisley bye-election. As this is certainly not in accordance with the usual principles of British journalism I bring it to your notice, and shall be glad to hear from you before I make the matter public." SIGNED in ink: "Yours sincerely, Winston S. Churchill." The letter, in very good condition, is hole-punched at upper right corner. It is preserved here with the aforementioned newspaper article (and photograph) and a carbon of Layton's letter in reply ("I'm afraid you are reading far more into the picture...than was ever intended."). The response from Churchill, on 28 Hyde Park Gate letterhead, is also here, dated 6 February, 1950: "My dear Layton, Thank you very much for your letter of February 1. I must say I derived the impression from the picture that it was meant to suggest a crowd cheering the announcement. However, I am obliged to you for the explanation you have been good enough to give. Yours very sincerely," SIGNED in ink: "Winston S. Churchill." When Prime Minister Clement Atlee suddenly announced in January 1950 that a General Election would be held on February 23, Churchill abruptly returned to London from an extended winter holiday in Madeira Spain. He took an active part in preparation of the Conservative Party's election manifesto and was clearly attuned to any perceived threats to the party's chances. WALTER THOMAS LAYTON (1884-1966) was Chairman of The News Chronicle from 1930-1950. A former editor of The Economist (1922-1938), he had been Churchill's statistical officer at the Ministry of Munitions during World War I and ran the Joint War Production staff from 1942-43.   TYPED LETTER SIGNED by CLEMENTINE CHURCHILL  Autographed  1  $354.99 ex VAT  10583.jpgOn 28 Hyde Park Gate letterhead (71/4 x 9 1/4 inches), dated 4th November,1950: "My dear Mrs. Kemp, I am writing to you from my husband and myself to tell you how much we appreciate all that you have done for the Constituency. I know that your services go back a very long way, because even before you started working regularly with Mr. Mummery you did a tremendous amount of work for us. Since Mr. Mummery's death you have really filled his place. My husband and I want you to know how grateful we are to you, and to send you warm thanks. Your sincerely, Clementine S. Churchill." Letter is in very good condition, folded twice for mailing, the edges just a touch worn.   TYPED LETTER SIGNED by Winston Churchill  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  3868.jpgSingle page letter to Walter Layton, Chairman of The News Chronicle, written on 28 Hyde Park Gate letterhead (7 1/4 x 9 1/2 inches), dated 23 January,1949, overwritten: "Private & Personal" in ink across top, as well as "My dear Walter," in Churchill's hand: "I chanced to see the enclosed cartoon and thought it quite outside ordinary limits. I was astonished that a newspaper you control should harbour it...If this spirit expresses Ô Liberal Ideals Ô they are quite under the counter. Will you kindly return to me the cartoon after you have seen it." SIGNED in ink: "Yours sincerely, Winston S. Churchill." The letter, in very good condition, is hole-punched at upper right corner. The cartoon in question is not present. WALTER THOMAS LAYTON (1884-1966) was Chairman of The News Chronicle from 1930-1950. A former editor of The Economist (1922-1938), he had been Churchill's statistical officer at the Ministry of Munitions during World War I and ran the Joint War Production staff from 1942-1943.   TYPED LETTER SIGNED by Winston Churchill to General of the Army H.H. ("HAP") ARNOLD  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  13052.jpgOn Hyde Park Gate letterhead, dated May 23, 1946, "My dear General Arnold, I have received with much pleasure your letter of April 29 and the delightful photograph of yourself, with its all-too-kind inscription. I and my family will always treasure this memento from you. Thank you so much for sending it. Yours very sincerely, [SIGNED] Winston S. Churchill." There follows a postscript in ink, all in Churchill's hand: "P.S. I always remember our visit to the Czechs that began our fruitful work together." Henry H. (Hap) Arnold (1886-1950) was commander of the Army Air Forces in World War II and the only air commander ever to attain the five-star rank of general of the armies. He attended all of the major Big Three conferences, accompanying both Roosevelt and Truman. Hewas especially interested in the development of sophisticated aerospace technology to give the United States an edge in achieving air superiority and fostered the development of such innovations as jet aircraft, rocketry, rocket-assisted takeoff, and supersonic flight. After a lengthy career as an Army aviator and commander that spanned the two World Wars, he retired from active service in 1945.   WARTIME TYPED LETTER SIGNED by Winston Churchill on Admiralty Letterhead Just Four Months Before Becoming Prime Minister  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  13000.jpgWritten just four months after Churchill's return to government as First Lord of the Admiralty and four months before he would replace Chamberlain as Prime Minister. Dated "January, 1940" on Admiralty letterhead, to Arthur Paul Boissier, the Headmaster of Harrow School, Churchill's alma mater. "Dear Mr. Boissier [in ink], I am most grateful for your kind letter of greetings. It is good to receive such a message of encouragement from Harrow. With all good wishes to you and to the School for continued success, [in ink, all in Churchill's hand]: Believe me, yours sincerely, Winston S. Churchill." Nine months later, during the Blitz of September 1940, Harrow School was hit by incendiary bombs. In a single night some three hundred bombs fell among the buildings or in the grounds, though this was apparently not by intent. German bombers involved in a raid over London had dumped the remainder of their bomb load to save fuel on their flight home, with the majority falling on Harrow. It was Churchill's private secretary, John Colville (another alumnus), who told him of the tragedy. Until that moment Churchill had never mentioned Harrow to Colville, "except," according to Colville, "with dislike." Boissier had, in fact, written repeatedly inviting Churchill to visit Harrow, to no avail. Now, however, Churchill observed to Colville that Harrow was "courageous to remain on the Hill and not to emigrate to more peaceful pastures." He went on to dictate a telegram to Head Master Boissier: "I am sorry to hear that Harrow has been bombed and hope that the damage is not serious. You have all my sympathy. Stick it. Winston S. Churchill." On December 18, 1940 Churchill did visit Harrow and, as Colville later noted, "thoroughly enjoyed himself." Old Harrow songs were sung and, as the Prime Minister quietly blinked back tears, "a large handkerchief appeared." Boissier wrote at the time of having been told that, "on occasions when affairs looked overblack, Mr. Churchill . . . would sing an appropriate verse or two from one of the [Harrow] songs and then get back to business." Arthur Paul Boissier (25 January 1881 - 2 October 1953) was Headmaster of Harrow School from 1939-1942. The letter is in excellent condition, with the standard fold marks.   WARTIME TYPED LETTER SIGNED by Winston Churchill on the eve of Czechoslovakia's Occupation  Autographed  1  $0.00 ex VAT  13054.jpgAn emblematic letter that captures Churchill as the darkening Nazi threat he had long predicted becomes reality. Written on Chartwell letterhead, dated 6th March, 1939, to Mr. Harold R. Peat: "I am afraid I cannot contemplate a tour at the present time. The uncertainties which prevented me last year, still overhang our future." Just three days earlier, Churchill's constituency had, for the second time, attempted to remove him as their representative in Parliament. His opposition to the Munich Agreement and to the policies of Neville Chamberlain, his party's Prime Minister, seemed to many almost treasonous. One week later Churchill answered his critics in a speech: "I do not withdraw a single word," he said. "I read it again only this afternoon [his fierce remarks during Parliament's Munich debate] and was astonished to find how terribly true it had all come." Four days later, on March 14, German troops crossed the border into Czechoslovakia. Harold R. Peat, a former-World War I war hero, ran the Peat Lecture Bureau, at 2 W. 45th Street in New York City. "His Bureau," wrote The New Yorker in a 1942 Talk of the Town piece, "is one of the places people go when they want to engage a talented or famous person to speak at an Annual Luncheon or whatnot. Many people who can afford Thomas Mann, Andre Maurois, Franz Werfel, Ilka Chase, Lillian Hellman, Hermann Rauschning, Alice Longworth, or H.G. Wells realize that the Peat office can get them for you." Winston Churchill would remain unavailable even to the Peat office. Six months after writing this letter, he was grudgingly invited by Chamberlain into his government as First Lord of the Admiralty. Some eight months after that, Churchill replaced Chamberlain as England's Prime Minister, charged with saving England from the "uncertainties" that all could now see fearfully overhanging its future.   56TH FIGHTER GROUP  Aviation  1  $24.99 ex VAT  20408.jpgFrom World War II fame as "Zemke's Wolfpack," the highest scoring USAAF Fighter Group in Europe, to date.
