Description:

WINSTON S. CHURCHILL
(1874 - 1965) British Prime Minister who led England through the Blitz and orchestrated the British liberation of occupied Europe and Germany. Churchill is today considered perhaps the greatest statesman of this century. German edition of his autobiography Weltabenteuer Im Dienst [trans. My Early Life: A Roving Commission], (Leipzig: Paul List Verlag, 1931), probable first edition, boldly inscribed on the front flyleaf: "Inscribed by Winston S. Churchill for Herr Oscar Hirte June 3, 1937". Fine condition. 1937 was a pivotal year for Germany, as Hitler renounced the Treaty of Versailles and commenced rearming Germany. The German public overwhelmingly approved the Anschluss.
