xii, 708pp, two sections of black and white photographic plates. Black cloth-covered boards, silver titles on spine. Very lightly bumped spine heel. Pages starting to tan. Internally neat, clean and tight. Dust jacket has some shelf wear, price unclipped. Magisterial, sweeping biography of one of the great leaders of the twentieth century and of the country with which he so identified himself, yet even he could not have foreseen the way in which he was launching himself onto the world stage when he boarded the small plane that took him from war torn France to London in 1940.
