A Churchill Treasury: Sir Winston's Public Service Through Memorabilia (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781399017015)

"Profusely illustrated, the book includes photographs of badges, ribbons, textiles, porcelain, glassware, and ephemera. Each item, however, also is provided with superb context through detailed explanations of the object's history, story, and rarity. These are delightful, easy reads that convey the author's zeal and mastery of his subject--no small feat, given the scope and scale of the collectables within." -- International Churchill Society

A Churchill Treasury fulfills a market need for publishing a new book documenting memorabilia from Sir Winston Churchill's decades of public service. Globally called Churchilliana, these items encompass over 60 years of materials, including badges, ribbons, textiles, porcelain, glassware and ephemera with the last Churchilliana book being published over 20 years ago as a collectors' guide. A Churchill Treasury will be enjoyed by collectors as well as readers interested in history since it uses period items to portray and explain Sir Winston's public service, starting with his father and chief inspiration, Lord Randolph and ending with retirement after his second premiership.

A Churchill Treasury includes many rare items and pieces seen by the public for the very first time. Readers of all ages will enjoy learning about Sir Winston as they discover and appreciate the period pieces shown here.
