About This Item
(Cape Town: Struik, 1989). Large folio; original grey boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 240 (including index); photographic essays. Good to very good condition. A little fishmothing to edges of boards and rear endpaper, not affecting text. Light foxing, mainly to reverse of dustwrapper and endpapers; some browning to edges. "The Star World War II is the month-by-month story of the 1939-45 global conflict and of South Africa's part in it, told largely through the newspaper reports that appeared during those momentous years. Here are the battles, the defeats, the stunning triumphs, the movements of great armies and the individual acts of heroism, described as they happened, often by eye-witnesses. The reports impart a sense of immediacy to the story, powerfully evoking the mood of the times." .
