Afrique du nord

8vo., First Edition, with 39 plates on 16, 3 full-page maps and a full-page table in the text, and front and rear endpaper maps; cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a near fine copy in dustwrapper. Published in the sixtieth anniversary year of the battle, this is the most comprehensive and detailed single-volume history to date, with a very good selection of photographs (a number of which were censored at the time). Includes details of the war correspondents (six of whom died during the campaign) who did so much to publicise 'the end of the beginning'. A valuable complement to Pitt.
