La Crise Mondiale [The World Crisis] Tome II: 1915 Payot, 1928. First French edition of the second part of The World Crisis. Original paper wrappers, printed in blue. Author’s presentation copy, inscribed to the half-title, “To Vice Admiral P. Guépratte K.C.B. from Winston S. Churchill 24 Sept. 1930”.

[37175] £2,250 Emile-Paul-Aimable Guépratte was commander of the French fleet, which was sent to Dardanelles to join the Anglo-French force commanded by Admiral Sackville Carden in early 1915 as part of Churchill’s ultimately decisive, but disastrously costly, attack on the Turkish forts. Guépratte led the forward’s squadron, which was effectively ambushed between a well prepared minefield and Turkish artillery, resulting in an almost immediate loss of three ships and 600 lives. Although the mission was regarded as a disaster, Guépratte was lauded for his bravery and was awarded the Order of St George. Churchill devotes a short chapter to the Dardanelles attack in this book, in which he refers to Guépratte’s gallantry.

All books in fine condition and dustjackets in near fine condition, crisp and bright with just volume three having a little creasing to the top edge of the upper panel and a tiny closed corner tear reinforced. [37076] £450 Originally commissioned by Newman Flower at Cassells in 1933, Churchill had only completed part of the project by the outbreak of war in 1939, when he returned to his old post as First Lord of the Admiralty. It was not until the end of the war and the loss of the election in 1945 that Churchill had the time to return to his writing. However it was only after he had completed his six volume Second World War that he felt inclined to look again at the History. The first volume was published in April 1956, and was closely followed by the second volume in November 1956. By the early months of 1957 he had finished the entire work and delivered it to Cassell, and the subsequent two volumes were published in October 1957 and March 1958, all priced at 30s. “Cassell’s paid him a lump sum of $100,000 [approximately £20,000] for it, the largest down-payment of its kind ever made in England.”
