Beautifully illustrated, it captures the vitality, spirit, and complexities of Winston Churchill, as well as of the times he lived in.

A Churchill Treasury is the first book to use period memorabilia as the basis for documenting Sir Winston Churchill’s decades of public service. Globally called Churchilliana, these items encompass over 60 years of materials, including badges, ribbons, textiles, porcelain, glassware and ephemera. A Churchill Treasury will be enjoyed by collectors as well as readers interested in history since it begins by using period items related to his father and chief inspiration, Lord Randolph, and ends with items related to Sir Winston’s retirement after his second premiership.
A Churchill Treasury includes many rare items and pieces seen by the public for the first time. Readers of all ages will enjoy learning about Sir Winston as they discover and appreciate the period pieces shown here in their historical context.
