CHURCHILL (Clementine).
My Visit to Russia.

Published to commemorate Clementine Churchill’s extended tour of Russia at the end of the Second World War visiting Soviet hospitals which had been helped by her British Red Cross Aid to Russia Fund. ‘Of the money Clementine and her fund had collected, Winston Churchill told Stalin ‘in the friendship of the masses of our peoples, in the comprehension of their governments and in the mutual respect of their armies the future of the world resides.’’ (Gilbert, vol. vii, p.1267).

Spine lightly browned, minor wear to edges, otherwise a very good copy.
