"It is my hope to recall this great shade from the past, and not only invest him with his panoply, but make him living and intimate to modern eyes."—from the preface to Volume One John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough (1644-1722), was one of the greatest military commanders and statesmen in the history of England. Victorious in the Battles of Blenheim (1704), Ramillies (1706), and countless other campaigns, Marlborough, whose political intrigues were almost as legendary as his military skill, never fought a battle he didn''t win. Although he helped James II crush the rebellion of the Duke of Monmouth, Marlborough later supported William of Orange against James II in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and brilliantly managed England''s diplomatic triumphs during the War of the Spanish Succession. Marlborough also bequeathed the world another great British military strategist and diplomat—his descendant, Winston S. Churchill, who wrote this book to redeem Marlborough''s reputation from Macaulay''s smears. One million words long and ten years in the making, Churchill''s Marlborough stands as both a literary and historical masterpiece, giving us unique insights into the Churchill of World War II, for just as Churchill''s literary skill helps us understand the complexities of Marlborough''s life, so too did his writing of Marlborough help Churchill master the arts of military strategy and diplomacy. This two-volume edition includes the entire text and almost all the original maps.

"Arms and the Covenant is an ominous collection of 41 speeches representing perhaps Churchill''s finest forewarning of the danger of allowing Germany to rearm. According to Churchill, Britain''s failure to act by March 1938 had allowed her defence programme to lapse and European dictators, chiefly, Germany, to grow bolder. The book was published at a time when prevailing opinion said that Germany had made the last of her demands. However by the time the American edition was published later that year the Munich Pact had been agreed and a new title was deemed appropriate: While England Slept"--Bloomsbury Collections.
