Winston Churchill's monumental biography of his great ancestor, John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, was initially published in Britain in four volumes between 1933 and 1938.

London: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd., 1934. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Here is a jacketed British first edition, first printing of Volume II. Churchill's monumental biography of his great ancestor, John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, was initially conceived a full 40 years before publication of the fourth and final volume. Churchill originally considered the idea of the biography in 1898, returning to it in earnest in 1928. Marlborough ultimately took 10 years of research and writing and is the most substantial published work of Churchill's "wilderness years" in the 1930s. The final volume was published on the eve of the Second World War in 1938. Richard Langworth says "To understand the Churchill of the Second World War, the majestic blending of his commanding English with historical precedent, one has to read Marlborough." The first edition of Marlborough was originally issued in four volumes between 1933 and 1938. It was very well received - both critically and aesthetically. The first… Read More

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1933. First edition. Hardcover. This is a jacketed U.S. first edition, first printing of the second volume of Winston Churchill's monumental biography of his great ancestor, John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough. During the years covered by this volume (1688-1702), “Marlborough is shown growing in military experience and political sagacityÂ… Out of this volume emerges a vivid picture of Marlborough in his prime, ambitious, aggrieved, outspoken, bland and redoubtable, soon to exercise command over a military coalition vaster than any man wielded until the advent of Napoleon.” The volume features a profusion of illustrations, maps, and plans. The British first edition was issued in four volumes. The U.S. publisher chose to split the first two volumes into two books each, resulting in a six-volume set that is otherwise identical in content to the British. Only when the sixth and final volume was published in 1938 were all six U.S. first editions offered in… Read More

This is a jacketed British first edition, first printing of the second volume of Churchill's Marlborough: His Life and Times. During the four years covered by Volume II (1702-1705), Marlborough led England as Captain-General. The volume is a substantial 651 pages with 31 illustrations, 76 maps and plans, and 3 document facsimiles. The British first trade edition is a physically impressive production. Each volume measures 9.25 x 6.25 inches (23.5 x 15.9 cm) and is roughly 2 inches thick (5 cm). Each is bound in plum cloth with beveled edges, the Marlborough coat of arms in gilt on the front cover, and a gilt top edge. Moreover, each volume is profusely illustrated. Unfortunately, the plum cloth bindings of Volumes I-III proved highly susceptible to sunning.
