8vo., First Edition, with plates and 4 maps on 3 folders at end, some relevant annotation in red pencil; handsomely bound in dark red full morocco, sides ruled in gilt, back with raised bands lettered and ruled in gilt, divisional insignia from upper board preserved and mounted on new leaf at front, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. This copy was formerly in the library of a member of 16th Devon (Yeomanry) Battn, attached 74th Division, and bears his signature on front free endpaper. 'The division was formed in the course of the Palestine Campaign from dismounted Yeomanry regiments. It undoubtedly contained some of the finest material that Britain ever put into the field. Having taken a leading part in the Third Battle of Gaza and the capture of Jerusalem, it was sent to France in the Spring of 1918 where it again distinguished itself. A clear and well-informed record of its career.' (Falls). VERY SCARCE. Enser, p62; Falls. p.132 (star for quality)

Very Good French Eight panels of panoramic photograph folded into original printed light brown card wrappers titled "Souvenir d'Alep (Syrie). / Panoramique d'Alep" and "Editeur Wattar Freres, Alep (Syrie)" on the cover. Open size: 9x112 cm. In French. Contemporarily repaired verso of hinges by tape, overall a fine copy. Scarce wide-angle black and white photo-lithographic panoramic view of one of the oldest and most important cities of the Islamic Middle East, Aleppo of Syria, taken at twilight time, in the 1920s, when the country was under the French Occupation between 1920-22. This attractive photograph was edited and also probably taken by the Wattar Brothers, who were the famous and prolific editors and photographers of Syria and Southeast Anatolia including Kilis, Aintab (today: Gaziantep), etc. The Wattar Freres' descendants were present in Syria until the early 2000s (Serifoglu). This panorama is uncommon, showing many architectural buildings peculiar to Aleppo are no longer in place after the wars, especially the ongoing Syrian Civil War.

br. All'inizio delle rivolte, nel marzo 2011, Yazbek, giornalista e scrittrice affermata, regista e sceneggiatrice per il cinema e la tv, sceglie di scendere in piazza per difendere la libertà di espressione, regolarmente negata dai regimi autoritari che si sono succeduti nel suo paese. Denuncia i crimini perpetrati da Bashar al-Assad, rivendica maggiori diritti per le donne e l'abolizione della censura. Viene prima trattenuta dalle forze dell'ordine, poi, quando la sua voce diventa troppo invisa al governo e la sua presenza in Siria un rischio, si trasferisce a Parigi, dove persevera nel suo attivismo politico. In esilio continua a battersi denunciando le atrocità, urlando all'Occidente il bisogno disperato di aiuti umanitari e la necessità di intervenire per fermare ulteriori spargimenti di sangue: Ma il richiamo delle radici e il senso di responsabilità si rivelano troppo forti e Samar Yazbek inizia così a ritornare in Siria illegalmente, attraversando a piedi il confine turco. Una volta dentro la scrittrice visita le zone «liberate» dal controllo del regime di Assad e occupate dal Free Army dei ribelli o dagli estremisti islamici. Si impegna per offrire sostegno alle persone bisognose. Ascolta testimonianze, storie di singoli individui e di intere famiglie, molte donne, ragazze e bambine che mutano l'orrore in parole da consegnare al mondo. Raccoglie immagini ed emozioni, assiste a scontri armati, alla crudeltà dei cecchini, ai bombardamenti. Vive lutti e speranze, e con questa materia incandescente plasma un racconto che non è un romanzo né un saggio ma li contiene entrambi, senza mai tradire la realtà.
