PARKINSON, Roger. Peace for Our Time; Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat; A Day’s March Nearer Home. Complete three-volume War Cabinet Papers history, Munich to VE Day. New York: David McKay Company, 1972–1974. First American Editions. Complete three-volume set of Roger Parkinson’s history of the British Government and the Second World War, based upon the then recently declassified British War Cabinet papers, comprising: Peace for Our Time: Munich to Dunkirk (1972); Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: From Dunkirk to Alamein (1973); and A Day’s March Nearer Home: Alamein to VE Day (1974). First American Editions throughout. Three hardcovers in their original unclipped, priced dust jackets, all preserved in removable clear protective sleeves. Books generally very good or better: bindings firm and text blocks clean and tight, the latter two volumes particularly crisp and apparently little read. Some age-toning to page edges and occasional minor marks. Small former bookseller’s label to endpaper of Peace for Our Time and A Day’s March Nearer Home. A few small pencilled former inventory/price notations to endpapers. Dust jackets complete and unclipped. Peace for Our Time ($9.95) with general toning/soiling, rubbing and shelf wear, minor wear at spine ends and a short closed tear/crease at upper corner of front panel. Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat ($7.95) toned and lightly soiled, with rubbing, particularly to spine, and minor edge wear and creasing, without significant loss. A Day’s March Nearer Home ($9.95) the best of the three jackets, lightly toned/soiled with only very minor edge nicking. An attractive, matched complete set of the First American Editions, retaining all three original priced dust jackets.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Peter's Books, Broadclyst, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
If you require your purchased item to be shipped outside the UK, please contact me first so that I can give you an estimate. Please specify whether you would like to opt for a signed-for or recorded delivery service (I am sorry but I will refuse to ship to some countries unless you opt for a recorded delivery service). Books will be wrapped in bubble wrap, then packaged in corrugated cardboard with a wide lip all around to protect them from the vagaries of the postal service. This way, they should arrive at your door in the best possible condition.
