RARE 1908 FIRST EDITION LEATHER BOUND WINSTON CHURCHILL "MY AFRICAN JOURNEY"

Item Details

Description

Rare first edition leather bound "My African Journey" by Winston Churchill featuring gilt spine and fine detailing. Includes many photographs, illustrations, and maps within the book from Churchill's travels. My African Journey, documents his travels and the people he met; he waxes lyrical on the natural beauty of Uganda and goes on to explore Egypt and Sudan via the White Nile. More than a travelogue however, Churchill, now in his 30s, turns his attention towards issues of government and development, suggesting that the best way to tap the latent wealth of East Africa was the development of the railway system. His thoughts on settlement, race and government provide an intriguing insight into contemporary imperialism and African history and fascinating reading for both Churchill enthusiasts and those interested in the historical relationship between Britain and its colonies towards the end of the British Empire. This would be an incredible addition to any library. Measures about 7.5" tall, 5" wide, and 1.5" thick. Weighs 1 lb 3.7 oz.

Condition

very good, some foxing on a few pages but nothing major.
