Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Following his resignation from the Government after the disastrous Gallipoli campaign, Winston Churchill's political career stalled. Never one to give in, Churchill was determined to continue fighting the enemy. He was already a Major in the Territorial Reserve and he was offered promotion to Lieutenant Colonel and with it command of a battalion on the Western Front. On 5 January 1916, Churchill took up his new post with the 6th (Service) Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers. The battalions adjutant was Captain Alexander Dewar Gibb who formed a close relationship with Churchill that lasted far beyond their few weeks together in the war.Dewar Gibb subsequently wrote an account of his and Churchill's time together in the trenches. Packed with amusing anecdotes and fascinating detail, Gibb's story shows an entirely different side to Churchill's character from the forceful public figure normally presented to the world.Churchill proved to be a caring and compassionate commander and utterly fearless. Despised on his arrival, by the time he departed he was adored by his men. Supplemented with many of Churchill's letters, the observations of other officers, and additional narratives, this is the most unusual and absorbing account of this part of Churchill's life that has ever been told.…

The book is protected in both a removable Mylar cover, and a Mylar sleeve. First UK edition of this short work on Churchill's army career during the First World War. The author, writing under the pseudonym of 'Captain X' was actually Captain Andrew Dewar Gibb (1888-1974), a Scottish barrister, professor and politician who later led the Scottish National Party (SNP) from 1936 to 1940. Gibb served in France with the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers, achieving the rank of major, and fighting at both the Battle of Loos and on the Ypres Salient, where he was adjutant to Winston Churchill during the short time that Churchill was the battalion's commanding officer. 'With Winston Churchill at the Front' was his first published work, though he went on to write several others, mostly on the subjects of History, Scotland, and Law in the United Kingdom. The frontispiece used later became the basis for the image which featured in the 1932 publication of Churchill's 'Amid These Storms'. Packed with amusing anecdotes and insights, Gibb portrays the famously cantankerous politician as compassionate, fearless, and ultimately adored by the men who served under him. It offers a rare insight into a short, but important period in Churchill's life. Unsurprisingly, it is scarce indeed, in any condition, but even more so thus, with the wraps so well preserved. Collectible. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.…
