The Eighth Army September 1941 to January 1943

194466754London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1944. First edition. Presumed first printing. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. 104 p. Includes: illustrations maps. This is part of The Army at War series. From Wikipedia: "The Eighth Army was one of the best-known formations of the British Army during World War II fighting in the North African and Italian campaigns. It was a British formation always commanded by British officers however its personnel came from throughout the British Empire and Commonwealth; complemented by units composed of exiles from Nazi-occupied Europe. Subordinate units came from Australia British India Canada Free French Forces Greece New Zealand Poland Rhodesia South Africa and the United Kingdom. Significant formations which passed through the Army included: V Corps X Corps XIII Corps XXX Corps I Canadian Corps Polish II Corps.Eighth Army first went into action as an Army as part of Operation Crusader the Allied operation to relieve the besieged city of Tobruk on 17 November 1941 when it crossed the Egyptian frontier into Libya to attack Erwin Rommel's Panzer Army Africa. On 26 November the Commander-in-Chief Middle East Command General Sir Claude Auchinleck replaced Cunningham with Major-General Neil Ritchie following disagreements between Auchinleck and Cunningham. Despite achieving a number of tactical successes Rommel was forced to concede Tobruk and was pushed back to El Agheila by the end of 1941. In February 1942 Rommel had regrouped his forces sufficiently to push the over-extended Eighth Army back to the Gazala line just west of Tobruk. Both sides commenced a period of building their strength to launch new offensives but it was Rommel who took the initiative first forcing Eighth Army from the Gazala position. Ritchie proved unable to halt Rommel and was replaced when Auchinleck himself took direct command of the army. The Panzer Army Afrika were eventually stopped by Auchinleck at the First battle of El Alamein. Auchinleck wishing to pause and regroup Eighth Army which had expended a lot of its strength in halting Rommel came under intense political pressure from Winston Churchill to strike back immediately. However he proved unable to build on his success at Alamein and was replaced as Commander-in-Chief Middle-East in August 1942 by General Alexander and as Eighth Army commander by Lieutenant-General William Gott. Gott was killed in an air crash on his way to take up his command and so Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery was appointed in his place. Alexander and Montgomery were able to resist the pressure from Churchill building the army's strength and adding a pursuit formation X Corps to the Army's XIII Corps and XXX Corps. At the beginning of November 1942 the Eighth Army defeated Rommel in the decisive Second Battle of El Alamein pursuing the defeated Axis army across Libya and reaching the Mareth defensive line on the Tunisian border in February 1943 where it came under the control of 18th Army Group. Eighth Army outflanked the Mareth defenses in March 1943 and after further fighting alongside British First Army the other 18th Army Group component which had been campaigning in Tunisia since November 1942 the Axis forces in North Africa surrendered in May 1943.

The Effects of the Atomic Bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Report of the British Mission to Japan

194685740London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1946. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. The format is approximately 6 inches by 9.75 inches. vi 21 3 pages plus covers. Illustrations unpaginated--12 pages two images per page. Tabular data. Diagram. Cover is worn and soiled with some damp staining at page bottoms and the back. In the course of the war the Ministry of Home Security had evolved a scientific method for the measurement of the effect of air attack in the various forms and the Home Office regarded it as desirable to invite the United States Authorities to agree that a British team of experts trained in that method should co-operate with the United States Strategic Bombing Survey to conduct an investigation into the effects of the bombing of the two Japanese cities. The United States authorities provided every possible facility for the investigation and the detailed arrangements were made by the United States Strategic Bombing Survey. In addition to factual examinations at Hiroshima and Nagasaki the United States Authorities placed at the disposal of the British experts the records and observations which their more prolonged and detailed study had produced. In particular the part of this report which deals with the effects of atomic bombs on the human structure is based on material supplied by the Medical Section of the Joint Commission for the Investigation of the Effects of the Atomic Bomb. This report by the British experts is now published in this country simultaneously with the publication in America of the corresponding report of the United States Strategic Bombing Survey. His Majesty's Government considers that a full understanding of the consequences of the new form of attack may assist the United Nations Organisation in its task of securing the control of atomic energy for the common good and in abolishing the use of weapons of mass destruction. From the Introduction: 1. On August 6th 1945 shortly after 8 a.m. an American Super-Fortress flying at 30000 feet dropped a single atomic bomb over the Japanese mercantile city of Hiroshima. The bomb exploded over the city centre. Three days later on August 9th just after 11 a.m. a Super-Fortress flying at the same height which had found its primary target cloud-obscured dropped a second atomic bomb over the industrial city of Nagasaki. This bomb exploded over the city's factory area. In Hiroshima more than four square miles of city were destroyed and 80000 people were killed. In the smaller city of Nagasaki about one and a half square miles were destroyed and nearly 40000 people were killed. The causes of destruction and of death differed in many points from those which had acted in the conventional raids of the past. It was clear that bombing had changed its character and its scale beyond recognition. 2. The British Mission which spent the month of November 1945 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been concerned in the past with the appreciation of air raid damage in Great Britain and subsequently on the Continent of Europe. While some of its members had for other reasons made a wartime study of Japanese conditions it was not as a whole expert in Japanese affairs. Nor was it instructed to obtain a detailed picture of those effects of the bomb which were peculiar to Japan. The report which follows tells what was seen and what could be learnt three months after the bombing in Hiroshima and in Nagasaki. But its intention is as it was the object of the Mission to point to general conclusions on the effects to be expected from similar atomic bombs should they fall outside Japan and in particular in Great Britain. The reader should picture the destruction here set down as it would strike a city which he knows well in its people its houses its public buildings its factories and its public services.
