Scribner’s, NY, 1923-1931, 1st editions
Author: Winston S. Churchill

The American edition preceded the English edition by four days and is thus the true first edition.

The first American edition appeared from 1923-27 as 3 volumes published in 4 by Scribner’s:
Vol I: 1911-1914;
Vol II: 1915;
Vols III, IV: 1916-1918 in two parts.
Subsequently in 1929, a further volume (4 or 5) appeared as The Aftermath. Then still later in 1931 a final supplementary volume was published The Unknown War. The Eastern Front

An impressive set, uniformly bound in reddish brown cloth, gilt title on spine and on 4 front covers. Numerous maps and plans, some folding and colored. The only illustrations are 8 photos of key personalities in the final volume.
Volume one spine is dull which is typical of other volume ones’ I have seen. The Aftermath volume contains a previous owners bookplate to the front pastedown, otherwise a very good set.
Size approx:: 6.25″ x 9″
