ii) John Maynard Keynes. The Economic Consequence of Mr. Churchill. London: Hogarth Press, 1925. FIRST EDITION, 8vo (212 x 139mm.), lacking original green wrappers, upper corners of some leaves slightly creased, outer leaves slightly discoloured with some wear at extremities;

iii) [Winston Churchill.] My Ally. 1940?

My Ally is a fascinating piece of wartime propaganda, perhaps compiled by the pamphleteer Wilhelm Liljencrantz, which 'attempts to ridicule Churchill's relationship with Stalin by contrasting his wartime alliance with his long history of anti-Communist statements' (Cohen).
