First American Edition, Second Printing "In volume 1 of his biography of his father, Mr. Randolph Churchill presented with impeccable documentation and admirable objectivity, the life of Winston Churchill from his birth in 1874, through his school days and experiences as a cavalry subaltern in India and the Sudan, and as war correspondent in the Boer War, to his return to England where he was elected, at his second attempt, as Tory member of Parliament for Oldham. Young Statesman takes the story of Churchill's life from there to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. On February 14, 1901, Churchill took his seat in the House of Commons at the age of twenty-six. He was poised for the career, Shakesperean in its drama and scope, that was to take him through success and denigration, through years in the political wilderness while lesser men compromised, until, unyieldingly firm in his beliefs, he eventually became the dogged and inspiring symbol of a world at bay" [from the dust jacket] Book is in Fine/As New Condition: pages bright, clean, tight, and unmarked Dust Jacket is in Very Good Condition: top edge of the spine chipped; both sections very lightly rubbed.
