...of Winston Churchill, The Last Lion. I have Churchill's histories of World War Two and the English speaking peoples that I've been saving for retirement, but wanted to re-read Manchester first to set the tone.

On a related note, if any DUers have a hardbound set of Churchill's history of WW1, The World Crisis, that they'd like to sell I am looking for one. I know I can buy one online, but I'm not in a hurry as my current reading queue will last through mid-summer. I'm also looking for a copy of Arms and the Covenant.
