Winston Churchill (1874–1965) was a British politician, orator, and Nobel Prize-winning author, best known for his leadership during World War II as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Renowned for his eloquent speeches and determination, Churchill also authored numerous books, blending his love of history, politics, and personal reflection. His literary legacy, combined with his pivotal role in shaping modern history, cements his status as one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.

The Collected Works of Sir Winston Churchill is a monumental 38-volume limited edition set that encompasses Churchill’s prolific writings, including his historical works, speeches, autobiographies, and essays. Each set coming out to include five million words in 19,000 pages. Published in limited editions, these collections showcase his mastery as a statesman, historian, and writer, offering insight into key events of the 20th century, such as the World Wars, British history, and his personal experiences. The set is prized by collectors for its comprehensive scope and finely bound editions, often in leather with gold tooling.

This collection is issued as a limited edition containing all 50 of Churchill’s published titles arranged in 34 volumes. This set also includes four additional volumes of The Collected Essays of Sir Winston. Only 2000 sets have been authorized for the British Empire and Commonwealth including Canada and a further 1000 sets for the United States of America and Canada. The publishers, Library of Imperial History, went bankrupt before the project was complete so “the print run never exceeded 2000 copies and only 1750 sets were ever published.”
