A ‘chapter’ is often just one page of hand writing, (pages are small) but the last one, Chapter X, fills 3 pages.
Also included are entries by Field Marshal-Smuts, the Prime Ministers of Canada and New Zealand and General de Gaulle, together with historic information.

In Chapter 1 Montgomery explains how this book came about:

“I asked him [Churchill] to write his name in my autograph book. He wrote a personal note on one page… on subsequent occasions I asked him to write further pages…”

A superb gift for the Churchill collector in your family.
