Churchill's great history of the Anglosphere. This set of works takes its name from Churchill's house Chartwell, where much of it was written. A handsome set, much enhanced by the maps, charts and photographs. As with the first illustrated edition of The Second World War, Churchill invited the publishers to name it after the country house where most of the work was written.
With the exception of the first volume, which was published a week after the first edition, each volume was issued concurrently with the Cassell edition.
