Four issues of the antifascist newspaper "On Guard".

1947183797London: The Fortythree Publishing Co. Ltd Citadel Press Ltd 1947-48. First editions each stamped and dated by the Library of the Jewish American Committee. Number 9 April leads with a story about the bombing of Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem and the connection between British fascists and the Arab Legion. It also features an illustration of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem meeting with Hitler in 1941. On 22 February 1948 three trucks and an armoured car exploded on Ben Yehuda Street killing up to 58 civilians and injuring up to 200 more. The attack was performed by Arab militants and British deserters although Abd al-Qadir claimed responsibility later that day in a leaflet. According to the article in this collection two months later further letters were mailed to MPs in the UK claiming that the attack was orchestrated by a Palestinian branch of the fascist British League at that time a part of Oswald Mosley's Union Movement. The article questions the veracity of the letters but nonetheless condemns the actions of British deserters in Palestine and the Arab Legion's acceptance of former Nazis. Other articles in this collection focus on exposing Mosley's work as well as reporting on antifascist activities South Africa's movement towards apartheid and local legislation. On Guard was published by the Jewish anti-fascist "43 Group". The paper "assumed a moderate non-sectarian identity which was both educative and campaigning. The function of On Guard was to raise anti-fascist conciousness and unite all sections of the public against the menace of fascism" Copsey p. 92 4 broadsheet newspapers bifolium leaf size 430 x 570 mm black letterpress on all pages half-tone photographic illustrations throughout. Red postage stamp to no. 13 p. 4. Closed tears mostly along fold lines as expected edges toned and creased some dust-soiling: a very good collection.

MCI 02.01 Intelligence Brief: Southwest Asia.

179352Washington DC & Arlington Virginia: Specialized Skill Training Department Marine Corps Institute 1998 & 1991. Preparing the USMC for desert warfare A scarce set of training and examination manuals with exercise questions completed by an unknown marine. They are a basic introduction designed to familiarize the corps with desert warfare terrain and the cultures and histories of the Middle East. We have traced no records of a two-volume set. The US army had little experience of desert warfare prior to the Gulf War 1990-91. "For many years US doctrine failed to address desert warfare. During World War II US forces suffered heavy losses in the opening phase of the North Africa Campaign 1942-43. Stung by these defeats American forces learned quickly and fared somewhat better later. After the war American military doctrine focused on the defence of Europe and desert warfare was again ignored" Chambers p. 212. Brief is a 10-lesson course "designed to familiarize the student with the terrain weather climate physical environment armed forces and the geopolitical and sociopolitical influences which apply to military operations in the area" p. i. It covers four units: "Introduction" "Military and Paramilitary Forces" "Terrorism" and "Culture Economics and History". Each unit is illustrated and includes a set of exercise questions which in this copy have been filled in. Readings was to be consulted alongside the Culture Economics and History unit of Brief.

MIDDLE EAST; WORLD WAR IBiblio.com

Memorial album of letters and photographs recording the service of 2nd Lieutenant John Graham Wilkinson 1st/4th Battalion the Hampshire Regiment.

1918156559India Mesopotamia and Persia: December 1914 - July 1918. I have come to the conclusion that the war out here is much more pukka campaigning than in France An unpublished and otherwise untraced First World War album recording the experiences of an officer serving in India Mesopotamia and with Dunsterforce in Persia. It preserves his lively letters home and over 150 photographs taken on duty the final letter written only days before he was killed in action at Resht. Most letters are addressed to his mother Ada Eliza Wilkinson née Machin and the album opens with his formal portrait signed by her on the verso. Beginning with his voyage to India in December 1914 he records life in Port Said the Suez transit and his posting to Quetta where he lived comfortably but grew frustrated at being far from the fighting. Throughout 1915 he describes training frontier camps and the slow grind of the war his early enthusiasm giving way to weariness and disillusion. In late 1916 he finally volunteered for active service in the Middle East reaching Basra in October and soon taking part in mobile desert operations railway protection and frequent skirmishes with Turkish forces. His letters convey both the hardships and the relative freedom of campaigning compared with the Western Front. Wounded by a sniper in early 1917 he recuperated briefly in India before returning to the field. In December 1917 he joined Dunsterforce in Persia reporting on the weakening Ottoman position. He was killed in action at Resht on 20 July 1918 and buried with military honours at the Russian consulate. The album concludes with numerous letters of condolence from senior officers and comrades. The photographs document Bombay Quetta Delhi and daily military life in India as well as Basra Amara Beit Nama and operations in Mesopotamia and Persia including irrigation works armoured cars and troop movements. Loosely inserted are three autograph letters a postcard and a 1949 British Legion Service of Remembrance. No other manuscript or typescript copies of the letters are known. The family also compiled a memorial volume for Wilkinson's brother Geoffrey Miles Wilkinson killed later in the war. Quarto 255 x 205 mm. Occasional contemporary manuscript annotations. Together 258 typescript sheets each with text one side only 153 mounted photographs with typescript captions mostly gelatin silver snapshots photographic portrait mounted on card. Bound in contemporary black leatherette front cover monogrammed "J.G.W." Binding with some wear typescript sheets toned some photos oxidized as expected foxing and adhesive marks to opening portrait: a very good example. hardcover

For God Mammon And Country: A Nineteenth Century Persian Merchant: Haj Muhammad Hassan Amin Al-zarb 1834-1898

1999MS-45Boulder CO.: Westview Press 1999. This scholarly text is the first major account of the life and times of a merchant in nineteenth-century Iran or in the Middle East. Haj Muhammad Amin al-Zarb 1834-1898 rose from humble beginnings to become one of Irans wealthiest and most prominent merchants. He built up his wealth as a money changer a trader in textiles precious stones opium carpets agricultural products and staple foodstuffs amongst other goods and judicious transactions in land. Adept at cultivating powerful connections he became the principal supplier of luxury goods to the Shah his court and members of the ruling elite; served as private banker to the Shah his prime minister and influential bureaucrats; and became Master of the Mint. He had agents in all the main towns of Persia and Europe with correspondents in Asia and America.Amin al-Zarb was also an entrepreneur industrialist and innovator. Determined to bring to Iran the advances he had witnessed in Europe he invested in mining established factories with imported machinery such as glass china and silk reeling built a railway line and urged the Shah to establish a national bank. He also became an advocate of reform and curbs on arbitrary rule. He befriended the famous Islamic reformer Jamal al-Din Afghani. An innovator in business Amin al-Zarb led a very traditional life at home. Gifted at making money he was nevertheless a pious man who contributed generously to religious and charitable causes. Shireen Mahdavi draws on hitherto unpublished family archives to write not only a biography of a fascinating nineteenth-century merchant but also a social history of the period. Her portrait of Amin al-Zarb also provides important insights into the economic social and political role played by merchants in Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East in the nineteenth century. 286 pp. Illustrated. Dustjacket in mylar. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Westview Press Hardcover
