Paperback. Zustand: Fair. 480 pages. cover worn & creased, text tanned, name ffep, well used copy Winston Churchill's active political career spanned fifty-five years, from hi s entry into the House of Commons in 1900 until his retirement form the Premiers hip in April, 1955. It was a career of remarkable vicissitudes of fortune; and n o period is of greater interest than the twenty years between the two World Wars , during which Churchill returned to the Conservative party that he had left in 1904, received high office in a Conservative Government, and then broke with its leaders. From 1929 until September 1939, he held no political office, and his c areer seemed to have ended in total failure. The Second World War brought him ba ck to office and then, in May 1940, to the Premiership and to the opportunity to become Britain's greatest war leader since the elder Pitt.In this study, Robert Rhodes James has asked the question of why Churchill was so discredited and ignored in the 1920s and 1930s. Rejecting the simple answer that Churchill w as held down by lesser men who failed to see his genius, he has analyzed the cau ses of Churchill's failure and has sought them in Churchill's own personality an d his contribution to contemporary politics. Mr. Rhodes James has described this as an interim study, for he considers that the time has not yet come for a co mplete and measured estimate of Churchill's extraordinary personality and career . But in this interim study, he has drawn attention to aspects of that persona lity and career that have hitherto been largely overlooked by biographers and hi storians, and he has looked beyond the Churchill of 1940 to explain why and how Churchill's career between the wars provides a study in failure.…
