Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a sweeping yet detailed look at the culture of English society at the turn of the 20th century, honing in on its absurdity and decay. The author argues that at a time when the British Empire should have been at its zenith, the English were losing their vitality, morals, and common sense. Losing touch with their former sporting prowess and industriousness, they instead became absorbed by a love of luxury and display. The author explores these themes across many aspects of English life, including sportsmanship, employment, journalism, and family life. In doing so, the author provides a fascinating and often amusing portrait of a society undergoing rapid and profound change. This is an astute and thought-provoking portrait of English society at a decisive juncture, and a timely reminder of the importance of preserving national identity and values.

The River War is a detailed account of the re-conquest of the Soudan from 1896-1898 by a mixed contingent of British and Egyptian troops under the command of Major-General Sir Herbert Kitchener. In writing the River War, Churchill records that he "affected a combination of the styles of Macaulay and Gibbon" and later wrote that "nothing like the battle of Omdurman will ever be seen again. It was the last link in the long chain of those spectacular conflicts whose vivid and majestic splendour has done so much to invest war with glamour".

First Edition. Two vols, 8vo, I: pp.xxii, [2], 462, [2 (blank)], II: pp.[2 (blank)], x, [4], 499, [1(blank)], with 2 photogravure frontispiece portraits, 5 further photogravure portraits (each with tissue guard), and 23 coloured maps (of which 20 folding); 61 halftone illustrations and maps (of which several full-page) printed in-text; scattered spotting throughout, short marginal tears to vol.I C2 and vol.II map 6, but a good set; bound in publisher's navy blue cloth gilt, black endpapers; corners and endcaps slightly bumped, a little rubbed, spines slightly skewed.First edition of Churchill's second book, a history of Lord Kitchener's conquest of Sudan in 1896-99 informed by his own service as both a cavalry officer and a war correspondent on the campaign, profusely illustrated with drawings and maps. Eager to make his name in an active campaign, the young Winston Churchill (18741965) was transferred from India to Sudan in August1898 after an extended campaign of lobbying, including an unsuccessful enquiry to Lord Kitchener from the Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury, to whom the book is dedicated. While in Sudan he complemented his duties as an officer by working as a war correspondent, writing fifteen articles for the Morning Post and one, never published, for the Times. 'Arguably the most aesthetically beautiful of original trade editions of Churchill's books, TheRiverWar is a brilliant history of British involvement in the Sudan and the campaign for its reconquest: arresting, insightful, with tremendous narrative and descriptive power [The] features of that now distant campaign Churchill impressively captures in precise detail and exciting narrative, including his own role in the last great cavalry charge of British history. Finely written chapters trace the history of the Sudan, the rise of the Mahdi, the martyr's death of Gordon and, apparently not much exaggerated, the author's adventures' (Langworth). Despite his undoubted enthusiasm for British imperialism, he offers a remarkably sympathetic account of the Sudanese people and the reasons for their rebellion, as well as criticizing Lord Kitchener and the desecration of the Mahdi's tomb in Omdurman and opposing the British vilification of the Sudanese. The majority of the criticisms, however, were subsequently removed from the abridged single-volume edition of 1902, published after Churchill's election to Parliament. Langworth, pp.27-30.
