hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Frontis (illustrator).…

Hardback. Lord Longford & Sir John Wheeler-Bennett, St. Martin's Press New York. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Wear and tearPages: Good Markings: Previous ownerA sweeping work of political biography and twentieth-century history, The History Makers: Leaders and Statesmen of the 20th Century presents authoritative profiles of the defining figures who shaped the modern world through war, diplomacy, and governance. Edited by two distinguished British statesmen and historians, the volume chronicles the lives and legacies of towering political personalities - from wartime leaders to architects of the post-war international order - drawing on deep scholarly expertise and firsthand historical perspective. Each portrait illuminates not only the personal character of its subject but also the broader geopolitical forces that these leaders both responded to and set in motion. Written with the measured authority and analytical clarity befitting its editors' credentials, the collection argues that individual leadership remains a decisive force in the unfolding of history. An essential reference for students of modern political history, it stands as a compelling testament to the power of human agency in an era of unprecedented global upheaval. Hardback.…
