Top page edges of Volumes 3, 5 & 6 are stained dark red. 8vo.  All volumes are variously illustrated with many foldout maps and diagrams. Churchill's complete six volume classic memoirs on WWII, the period from the end of the First World War to July 1945. Churchill labelled the "moral of the work" as follows: "In War: Resolution, In Defeat: Defiance, In Victory: Magnanimity, In Peace: Goodwill".  The titles of the volumes are  The Gathering Storm; Their Finest Hour; The Grand Alliance; The Hinge of Fate; Closing the Ring; and Triumph and Tragedy. Volume I with author's paper slip note tipped-in after his preface. 6 volumes. Some illustrated with plates of facsimiles and maps (many of which are folding); charts and tables. The first volume of Winston Churchills six-volume memoirs as a statesman and leader during World War II, The Gathering Storm begins with his thoughts on World War I - and how its ending laid the foundations for the next global conflict. The second volume of Winston Churchills six-volume autobiographical account of World War II, Their Finest Hour picks up where The Gathering Storm left off - with the fall of France to Hitlers forces and Britains stand as the lone defender against the Nazi war machine. In this third volume of a six-volume series, Their Finest Hour, Winston Churchill draws upon thousands of personal memoranda, war correspondence, and internal government memos to describe the full entry of the US into World War II - adding considerable strength to British military operations and morale. At the onset of the fourth volume of Churchills eyewitness account of World War II,  The Grand Alliance, prospects are bleak for the Allies. The Japanese have captured Singapore and Burma in a series of bold offensives; meanwhile, aggressive U-boat attacks in the Atlantic were preventing American, British, and Dutch shipping vessels from supplying the war effort. Rommel was turning the tide toward Axis forces in North Africa. Meanwhile, Hitler was pushing inexorably toward Stalingrad. Churchill faced challenges in the field--and considerable criticism at home. The fifth in Winston Churchills six-volume account of World War II,  Closing the Ring, picks up at the dawn of a more optimistic time for the Allied forces. After considerable struggle, the balance has finally shifted toward the Allies - and in this volume Churchill documents the drive toward victory. In the final volume of the six-volume series The Second World War, titled  Triumph and Tragedy, the tide of war has turned in the Allies favor and Japan's surrender is imminent. Even so, the Allies find themselves powerless to halt the advance of Russia and lay the groundwork for lasting peace.  Churchill himself is seeing his time of leadership come to a close. All of Churchill’s revisions and “overtake corrections” were scrupulously entered by Cassell which, combined with two- and three-color textual maps and many finely printed folding maps, makes this English Edition aesthetically pleasing.  Condition:  The books are in very good condition, tightly bound, with foxing throughout. Specific photos available on request.

 Field Guide to the Battlefields of South Africa - Nicki von der Heyde - Struik - 2014 - Paperback in good condition. There are two major types of battlefield terrain in South Africa: first the open plains and savannah lands of the Highveld, a land where cavalry rules supreme. The second type is the thornbush of the Eastern Cape, a setting more suited to skirmishing rather than set-piece battles. Then, in KwaZulu-Natal, the two terrains merge to create the country s most dramatic battlefield landscape and one of the largest military graveyards in the world where the fates of colonies, republics and kingdoms were decided.For more than two centuries, from the late 1700s to the early 1900s, conflict, in one form or another, swept across this countryside; its combatants as diverse, hardy and tenacious as the land and its resources that almost always was at the root of hostilities.In this groundbreaking book, author and specialist battlefields guide, Nicki von der Heyde, presents over 70 battles and skirmishes covering five wars that shaped the course of South African history from the Frontier Wars that started in 1779 to the Second-Anglo Boer War of 1899 1902, a bitter and costly confrontation triggered by the discovery of the world s richest gold fields on the Witwatersrand.Detailed accounts of the engagements, based on extensive research, are provided, with special attention given to the terrain, key phases and outcomes, and the combatants involved. Battle timelines succinctly set out the passage of each campaign, while international timelines catalogue concurrent events around the world.More than 400 original documentary and contemporary photographs and over 60 short features have been assembled to provide a rich, enthralling and haunting account of these momentous events. Detailed historical maps that include annotations have been created for 16 high-profile engagements, while 10 regional maps indicate the locations of the battle sites. Arranged in regional order, with concise directions to each battle site and GPS coordinates for main locations, the "Field Guide to South Africa s Battlefields" is not only indispensable for professional and amateur military historians, but is of great interest to general readers, too if only as a reminder of the devastating human cost of war and the value of exploring the past to make sense of the present.It is beautifully illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs and detailed battle and regional maps."
