4 Volumes: The Birth Of Britain, The New World, The Age Of Revolution, The Great Democracies. Arguably Churchill's greatest and most well known literary work, these volumes were written between the early 1930's and the latter 1950's as twelve independent books and though NOT signed by the author, a complete set of these four works in very good condition is still uncommon to see and hence is sold as a complete set rather than separately. In addition a further first edition set is also available but in near-fine condition..
