8° (230 x 142mm). Half-tone portrait frontispiece and plates. (Occasional light spotting.) Original maroon cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine (extremities lightly bumped). Provenance: Roy A. Dalton (inscribed in autograph 'To: Alderman Dalton , on the occasion of the unveiling of the Winston Churchill statue , Montgomery of Alamein , F.M. , 31 October 1959', and SIGNED BY CHURCHILL 'WINSTON S. CHURCHILL'); and by descent.
Churchill and his most brilliant general. The statue being unveiled was in Churchill's constituency at Wood Green, Essex. Montgomery's speech on that occasion observed that 'but for [Churchill], there might have been no us, no Woodford, and no Britain'. Churchill's signature by this date was usually uneven, as here, a consequence of strokes and ill-health.
