The Churchill World Stamp Catalogue includes colourful images of this collection of stamps and is complete with accompanying, informative notes. The result is a fitting tribute to a courageous man who left an indelible mark on the world โ€“ and who continues to inspire leaders worldwide. All aspects of Churchill’s long and active life are reflected on the stamps in the catalogue: Prime Minister, parliamentarian, war correspondent, writer, painter, speaker, cigar smoker, award recipient, and popular target of political cartoons.

This book reflects Celwyn Ball’s life-long interest in both stamp collecting and Winston Churchill. His comprehensive knowledge of the subject and his extensive collection of philatelic material related to Churchill have created a book that should be included in the library of every serious Churchill collector.

Mr Ball has held executive positions in several Churchill Societies since 1983 and has written articles about Churchill stamps for The Churchill Centre’s Finest Hour magazine. In 2002, he received the Blenheim Award, which is “A special recognition of those who have notably contributed to the memory of Sir Winston, our understanding of his life, and/or the Churchill Centre and Societies.”
