The World Crisis 1911-1918
Odhams Press, London, 1949, Originally published in two thick volumes in 1939, this set was reset into 4 thinner volumes for this 1949 issue. This set from Odhams contains the complete unabridged text of the original four volumes with the revisions and new material from the 1931 abridgement. The quantity and quality of maps are reduced however. The volumes are short (5.5 x 8.5 inches) with 1472 pages in the four volumes. Bound in bright red cloth with gilt titles on black panels, in the style of other 1940’s publications of Churchill’s works from Odhams. This 4 volume work is far scarcer than the two volume set. Books are crisp and unworn, cloth a good bright red, vol 3 has an area on front cover that appears to have been cleaned. Vols 2-4 have deep red page tops, vol 1 is the other version with white tops. Dustjackets are complete, minor abrasion at spine ends, vol 2 sunned to grey, the others still pink. (A31j). Item #50090
