English volume 2 of the 1899 first edition of winston churchill s river war and reconquest of the soudan.

Churchill the river war first edition.

I apologize for the different tone of some pages. An historical account of the reconquest of the soudan. This first one volume edition had only a single printing of just 1 003 copies and so is considerably scarcer than the first edition. Here is a near fine set of the river war 2 vols large 8tvo original dark blue cloth with gilt vignette of gunboat on upper covers.

I was too exhausted to re do the project. In 1899 after publication of the river war churchill ran for parliament and lost. This fall will see publication of the full unabridged text of churchill s second published book the river war for the first time since the 1899 first edition. The map on page 80 was so large that i ve included three photographs of it to capture all of the information.

It causes confusion when readers search for it in vain in shorter editions because it is among the hundreds of passages in the first edition that were left out of the second. This is volume 1 of the 1899 first edition of winston churchill s river war and reconquest of the soudan. The ultimate river war. We had to carefully photograph even pages then odd and the ambient light in the room changed over the hours.

In 1902 churchill then a new member of parliament revised and abridged his text excising much of his criticism of kitchener for political reasons all subsequent editions of the river war are based on this 1902 abridged and revised text. This edition has been the work of decades under the editorship of professor james w. There is also a new preface. The river war is a history of the british imperial involvement in the sudan and the mahdist war between the british forces led by lord kitchener and the dervish forces led by khalifa abdallahi ibn muhammad heir to the self proclaimed mahdi muhammad ahmad who had embarked on a campaign to.

Every one of the many subsequent editions of the river war is based on this 1902 text. An historical account of the reconquest of the soudan 1899 by winston churchill concerning his experiences as a british army officer during the mahdist war 1881 99 in the sudan. This first edition first printing set approaches very good condition. In 1902 churchill then a new member of parliament revised and abridged his text excising much of his criticism of kitchener for political reasons all subsequent editions of the river war are based on this 1902 abridged and revised text.

The river war was originally published as a two volume edition in 1899. By the way winston s stratagem worked. The river warwinston churchillfirst edition first printing. In 1902 churchill by then a new member of parliament revised and abridged his text excising much of the criticism of kitchener for political reasons.

All subsequent editions have been based on a text one third shorter than churchill s original.
