I am not sure anything new has been added yet. All eight biographic volumes and sixteen of the projected twenty-three document volumes (1874-1941) have been available for some time. Go to this website and click on individual book photos for descriptions: http://bookstore.hillsdale.edu/SiteText.aspx?id=2480 Remaining are the document volumes for 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1946-50, 1951-55, and 1955-65 (perhaps not those precise years). I am informed on good authority that Hillsdale has made fresh arrangements and will be completing the task in the next few years. The reasons involve Sir Martin's sad illness, which was explained by his wife Lady Gilbert in *Finest Hour*158, Spring 2013: LONDON, FEBRUARY 22ND— Last spring Sir Martin sustained an hypoxic brain injury that forced him into early retirement. He was in final preparations of the 1942 volume of the Churchill Documents, which Hillsdale College Press will publish this year. Sir Martin has devoted his life to writing “true history.” Rather than using adjectives and adverbs ascribed by others, Sir Martin believes in presenting the facts, through chronology and context, and character, whether in a leader or a foot soldier, as can be revealed by his decisions and actions. Sir Martin and I both want to thank all Churchillians for your friendship and readership through the years. —ESTHER GILBERT -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
