Sobre este item
NY: G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 1938. First Edition. Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 8vo (466 pages). This is a very good copy of the First American edition in the dramatic dust jacket, which is unclipped, bright and clean on the front and rear faces but faded somewhat along the spine. There is a 1/2-inch sliver of loss at the upper corner of the front face and a nick on the spine, with edge-chpping at the head and tail of the spine, else fine. The book is immaculate, the cloth and binding fresh, crisp and tight. The red top stain has faded. The contents are fine and unfoxed; the pages age-mellowed to a shade of off-white, as is common for this book, with some toning to the endpapers. There are numerals lightly stamped on the rear free endpaper that appear to be from the publisher.There is also a barely visible, faint, front hinge break that does not impact the binding. Overall, a very handsome and stable copy.
Sinopse
While England Slept is a 1938 non-fiction book written by Winston Churchill. It highlighted Great Britain's lack of military preparation to face the threat of Nazi Germany's expansion. It attacked the current policies of the British government, led by his fellow Conservative Neville Chamberlain. It had the effect of galvanizing many of his supporters, and built up public opposition to the Munich Agreement. John F.
