Item Details

Description

Details:

Winston Churchill autographed one page typed letter (TLS) dated May 5, 1949.

Sent to his literary assistant William Deakin, in part: "By sitting up very late several nights, I have finished Volume 3, and the last chapters come back from the Printer tomorrow. You should look through again on the Russian chapters and the last five or six of the Book which I have reshuffled largely in accordance with your suggestions. It is possible that there may be some repetitions, as I have not had the chapter 'Closer Relations with Russia' reprinted yet. I am quite clear it should not run on after the Declaration of War and that extra matter should be shoved forward…Please look through these closing chapters and let me know of any unintentional omission or duplications on my part." Signed at the conclusion "WSC."

Generally considered Churchill's greatest literary work, The Second World War was largely responsible for his receipt of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953.

Overall in fine condition. Previously sold at auction in 2017 for $1,257.

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British statesman, soldier, and writer who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, from 1940 to 1945 during the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. Apart from two years between 1922 and 1924, he was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1900 to 1964 and represented a total of five constituencies. Ideologically an adherent to economic liberalism and imperialism, he was for most of his career a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955. He was a member of the Liberal Party from 1904 to 1924.
