Description: "Arms and the Covenant is an ominous collection of 41 speeches representing perhaps Churchill's finest forewarning of the danger of allowing Germany to rearm. According to Churchill, Britain's failure to act by March 1938 had allowed her defence programme to lapse and European dictators, chiefly, Germany, to grow bolder. The book was published at a time when prevailing opinion said that Germany had made the last of her demands. However by the time the American edition was published later that year the Munich Pact had been agreed and a new title was deemed appropriate: While England Slept."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
Notes: "Speeches on foreign affairs and national defence ... All except the first were delivered in the last six years, and all but two in the House of commons."-Pref.

American edition published under the title:  While England slept.

Autograph: To Herbert Bayard Swope from Winston S. Churchill.
