1944186789Italy: Printed and Bound by Printing and Stationery Services 21 Army Group 1944. Inscribed by the victor amid the ruins First edition presentation copy inscribed by Montgomery on the front free endpaper "To: Ernest Bevin Foreign Secretary of England. B. L. Montgomery Field-Marshal. Berlin 29-8-45". After the Labour Party's surprise victory in the July 1945 general election Prime Minister Attlee appointed his close ally Ernest Bevin as Foreign Secretary allowing him significant autonomy in foreign policy decisions. Montgomery met the new Foreign Secretary at the Potsdam Conference and wrote "I was much impressed by Bevin; he will be the power behind the throne in the new set-up" Hamilton p. 551. Montgomery signed this volume the day before the conference at which he joined Georgi Zhukov Dwight Eisenhower and Jean de Lattre de Tassigny in forming the Allied Control Council the supreme governing authority in occupied Germany. The book privately produced and surviving in very few copies collects the printed personal messages issued by Montgomery to the Eighth Army as it fought its way from Alamein to Tunisia. These messages were central to the legendary morale of the Eighth Army. As Freddie de Guingand says in his foreword "These messages were always eagerly looked forward to by the troops and fostered the spirit and the will-to-win that made the Eighth Army such a great and happy family". An additional message from Montgomery from 25 August 1945 is loosely inserted. Small folio. Original black sand-grain cloth with Eighth Army insignia to front cover. Light rubbing to cloth ink marks to initial and final leaf. A very good copy. Nigel Hamilton Monty Final Years: 1944-1976 1986. hardcover

Octavo original cloth illustrated tissue-guarded frontispiece portrait of Olmsted. Edited by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and Theodora Kimball. Association copy inscribed by Frederick Law Olmsted on the front free endpaper “To George Haven Putnam in appreciation alike of old friendships and of his constant helpfulness in the preparation of this book. Frederick Law Olmsted.†The recipient American publisher George Haven Putnam was the eldest son of George Palmer Putnam the founder of G. P. Putnam's Sons. Putnam published the books of many classic American authors including his close friend Washington Irving William Cullen Bryant James Fenimore Cooper and Edgar Allan Poe. Upon his father's death in 1872 George Haven Putnam took over the business with his brothers John Bishop and Irving. He was made president of the firm a position he held for the next fifty-two years. In 1884 he hired 26-year-old Theodore Roosevelt as a special partner; Roosevelt would write several works published by Putnam. Putnam had already retired from the family firm at the time of this volume’s issue but was clearly still involved with this publication. Near fine in the rare original dust jacket which is in very good condition. An exceptional association copy. Frederick Law Olmsted Senior was one of America's foremost artists and a founder of the profession of landscape architecture in the U.S. The Park as a work of art - designed by Olmsted and partner Calvert Vaux - and as a great and novel public enterprise undertaken by the City of New York has played a vital part in the political history and cultural life of the metropolis and exerted a far-reaching influence on outdoor recreation and the landscape art in America.

1955162675London: March 1955. The security they think they have in Europe today is a pure facade Copy number 2 of an unknown but inevitably small distribution signed by Montgomery on the final sheet and classified "private and top secret" together with a covering note dated 17 March 1955 in Montgomery's hand: "My dear Jock: I send you this paper for your private information. Harold Macmillan has copy No. 1. Yrs ever M of A". Sir John "Jock" Colville 1915-1987 was the wartime private secretary to Winston Churchill and rejoined him when he became prime minister in 1951 receiving this paper from Montgomery one month before Churchill resigned from office. A powerful mandarin Colville formed with Christopher Soames the duumvirate that effectively ran the country for several months following Churchill's stroke in June 1953. He was personally as well as professionally close to Montgomery their correspondence including for example a playful bet on the outcome of the 1956 US election. Montgomery's memo presented some stark warnings about NATO's capabilities. "It is in no position today March 1955 to fight a war and succeed. We would lose Western Europe if attacked" p. 1. He argues that in light of the reality that defence spending will not be increased money should be used more wisely. NATO members should pool resources and avoid overlap "joint defence". The three branches of the armed forces should be integrated and harmonized - rather than "squabble about who should do the task" and "get in each other's way" p. 6 - and the military's leadership should cultivate new attitudes. "Let us put pride prejudice inter-racial and inter-Service jealousies aside; these are instruments of the enemy and of the devil" p. 8. After Macmillan became Minister of Defence in 1954 Montgomery was one of the first officials with whom he met. "On his first incursion into NATO enclaves Macmillan found himself immediately at one with the abrasive little Field-Marshal on the NATO ministers of defence" Horn p. xlix. We have traced only other copy from the distribution held in the papers of Major-General Percival Napier White 1901-1982 at the Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives. Eight sheets of duplicate typescript 330 x 205 mm text on one side only wire-stitched top left.

1943005853Tunisia: British Eighth Army 28 April 1943. Leaflet. This compelling Second World War artifact is an original message from General Bernard Law Montgomery to his Eighth Army troops on 28 April 1943 during the final Allied effort to expel Axis forces from North Africa. This printed message is not only a remarkable survivor but is signed by Montgomery B. L. Montgomery just below his printed name. While the signature is undated it seems almost certainly to have been signed in situ; Montgomery was created Viscount Montgomery of Alamein in January 1946 and thereafter routinely signed Montgomery of Alamein. <br /> <br />The leaflet measures 8 x 10 inches 20.3 x 25.4 cm printed in black on a single side of thin acidic stock. Condition shows wear expected for an original piece of North African theatre ephemera. A single vertical crease and two horizontal creases testify that the leaflet was folded notionally to fit in a soldiers pocket. The folds and edges show wear and fractional chipping there is overall soiling particularly to the blank verso and a central rectangle of the printed and signed recto is differentially toned indicating that it was once framed and thereby exposed to sun. Nonetheless like the solder to whom it once belonged and the General who authored and signed it this copy survived. <br /> <br />Montgomerys EIGHTH ARMY Personal Message from the Commander specifies that it is To be read out to all troops and consists of eight numbered points. The first three points encapsulate recent Eighth Army objectives and accomplishments. Points 4-7 are a spur to action with a specific repeated exhortation to KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!. The final point 8 is Good luck to each one of you. You can rest assured that I am watching over the battle carefully and together we will finish the job. Montgomerys signature is faded but still clear below his printed name at the lower right and the leaflet is printed 28.4.43 Tunisia. at the lower left. Operation Vulcan which began on 22 April 1943 was among the final Allied initiatives to overcome the last Axis North Africa defenses. By 13 May 1943 British Middle East Commander-in-Chief Harold Alexander sent Churchill the message the Tunisian campaign is over We are masters of the North African shores. Churchill THoF p.780 <br /> <br />Nearly two and a half millennia after Thucydides discussed the unpredictable role of chance in war Bernard Law Montgomery 1886-1976 and the Eighth Army found one another in North Africa. In July 1942 British troops checked Rommels forces in the First Battle of El Alamein but Allied momentum stalled. Churchill flew to Cairo on 1 August to assess command replacing Middle East Commander-in-Chief Claude Auchinleck with General Alexander and appointing General Gott to command the Eighth Army. When Gott was killed on 7 August flying back to Cairo Churchill acceded to General Montgomery in Gotts stead. Montgomery seized command two days earlier than authorized by his C-in-C and began an historic transformation of a beaten body of men into the legendary Eighth Army that fought its way from Alamein to Tunisia between August 1942 and May 1943. North Africa and the Eighth Army proved the perfect milieu for Montgomerys messianic vitality and vanity. Montgomerys political ineptitude and diplomatic limitations earned him significant postwar hostility and criticism but did not prevent his becoming widely regarded as the outstanding British field commander of the twentieth century. As this Personal Message testifies Above all Montgomery understood soldiers hearts and minds thousands of miles from home in a citizen army The men of the Eighth Army wanted to know what they were required to do Montgomery gave them an immediate answer. ODNB Montgomery later said the intent of his Personal Messages was to define the common objective and thereby foster unity of purpose.I like to think that these messages did much to foster the spirit and the will-to-win El Alamein to the River Sangro <br/><br/> British Eighth Army unknown

19431767181943-45. Inscribed to one of his generals Wartime pamphlets from the library of General Ivor Thomas three with presentation inscriptions from Montgomery and two with presentation letters on his behalf. Thomas 1893-1972 commanded the 43rd Wessex Infantry Division in Europe from June 1944 until May 1945. During the Battle of the Bulge Montgomery gave him temporary command of 30 Corps. He served as Quartermaster-General to the Forces from 1950 to 1952. "Thomas commanded the 43rd Division for three years - two years of training in England and a third year of almost continuous fighting. His long tenure of this command gave him an exceptional opportunity of impressing his personality and theories of warfare upon his officers and men and this he did with marked and incisive effect" The Times obituary 1 September 1972. The pamphlets have notices warning that "This pamphlet must NOT fall into enemy hands. Officers in possession of a copy will be responsible for its safe custody". The army produced them to convey new military thinking and strategy for senior military figures. i Eighth Army. Some Notes on High Command in War. Second edition.
