The volume is bound in its publisher's red cloth hardcover with gilt lettering to the spine. The title page displays the full printed title and publication details, accompanied by a signature reading 'Winston S. Churchill'.
Note: The Gathering Storm, first published in 1948, marks the beginning of Churchill's definitive historical account of World War II. Copies of this volume bearing a signature connect the statesman's legacy to a text that blends history, memoir, and statesmanship.
