Description:
This is a near-perfect copy of Amiens - Dawn of Victory, written in 2001 by the military historians James McWilliams and R. James Steel.

This is a trade paperback--it was apparently not published in hard cover.

Amiens (August 8-11 1918) was the first 'modern battle' attempted by the Allies. Employing secrecy, deception and the troops of five nations, the Allies won a string of victories which culminated in the Armistice 100 days later. Amiens was the decisive battle of World War I; it was called "the black day of the German army" and marked the beginning of the end of the war.

This book is the first to study the battle in real detail. Using eyewitness accounts from survivors, plus accounts from participants.

320 pages, with a few photographs and maps.

As you can see, the spine was cracked. But the book was not read. It is in pristine condition.

Description:
This is a stated first US edition, and first printing, of Armageddon: The Battle for Germany 1944-1945, by the British military historian Max Hastings.
In September 1944, the Allies believed that Hitler's army was beaten and expected the bloodshed to end by Christmas. But a series of mistakes and setbacks, including the Battle of the Bulge, led to eight more months of brutal fighting. Hastings gives us memorable accounts of the great battles and captures their human impact on soldiers and civilians. He tells the story of both the Eastern and Western Fronts, raising provocative questions, offers vivid portraits of the great leaders and brings to life the crucial final months of the 20th century's greatest global conflict.
584 pages, including lots of photos.
Unclipped dust jacket.

Description:
August 1914
is a novel by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008) about the defeat of the Imperial Russian Army at the Battle of Tannenberg in East Prussia. The novel is an unusual blend of fiction narrative and historiography, and has given rise to extensive and often bitter controversy, both from the literary as well as from the historical point of view.
The book was translated and published in 1972, by Bodley Head. Its sales were such that two more printings were quickly completed, all in 1972. This is a copy from the 3rd printing.
In 1974, Solzhenitsyn was expelled from the Soviet Union and, two years after that, he moved to the USA, where he began to revise this story. In 1984, a new version, much expanded, was published, making the first book a limited edition.
The dust jacket is in very good shape, with normal wear. (That white mark you see below '1914' is half of the price tag. I scraped the other half off with my fingernail.) Someone has taped the top and bottom of the spine, quite… Read More

Description:
This is a mint-condition first edition of The Boer War, the 1979 masterpiece by the British historian Thomas Pakenham. First editions of this book are rare—and expensive.
This war, declared by the Boers on 11 October 1899, gave the British, as Kipling said, 'no end of a lesson'. It was the longest, costliest, bloodiest, and most humiliating campaign fought by Britain 1815 and 1914.
Thomas Pakenham's narrative is based on first-hand and largely unpublished sources ranging from the private papers of the leading protagonists to the taped recollections of survivors from both sides. It is mammoth in scope and scholarship, as well as vivid, fast-moving and breathtakingly compelling.
The Boer War is the definitive account of this extraordinary conflict - a war precipitated by greed and marked by almost inconceivable blundering and brutalities.
659 pages including 200+ illustrations, photographs, and maps.
10" x 7" and 3 ½ lbs.

Description:
This is a second printing of Buller's Campaign, the story of the much-decorated, and much-maligned General Sir Redvers Buller (1839-1908), also called 'Reverse Buller' because of his often questionable leadership skills and numerous mistakes and defeats. It was written by the British writer Julian Symons (1912-1994) and first published in 1963. This is the White Lion edition, published in 1974.From a Review:
Buller's Campaign
is a powerful and invaluable reassessment of the life of General Buller and of the part he played in British military history. Beginning with his struggle for the position of Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in 1895, it goes on to portray his role in the Boer War, and reveals many of the Victorian Imperialist attitudes of the day. A man of numerous failures, General Buller has been treated unkindly by history but Symons paints a more rounded picture. While not attempting to excuse the General's mistakes, he portrays Buller as a complex and often misunderstood… Read More

This is the "unforgettable", "riveting" first-rate biography of Dr. John Reid, a Canadian doctor who was serving in Hong Kong in 1941. After the Japanese victory, he spent a year in a Hong Kong prison camp before being sent to Japan as a slave labourer. His efforts to save his men were heroic, but he would never be the same. He was a complex man--an outstanding doctor and war hero but, after returning home, a damaged and deeply troubled man. It was written by his son, the journalist Jonathan Reid.It was published in 2020--I don't believe it was issued in hardcover, so this is a first edition. Trade paperback. 455 pages including photographs. Two faint dogears, the last at page 71. Tiny bits of shelfwear.Otherwise pristine.

This is a first edition of Churchill's Generals, edited by the English military historian John Keegan (1934-2012), and British soldier and fellow adventurer Michael Alexander (1920-2004). This is one of the original copies, from the UK print run.
It is a unique collection of essays by eminent historians. Churchill's reputation as Prime Minister during World War II fluctuated according to the successes and failures of his generals. Most were household names—even heroes. Yet all were prey to the intolerance, interference, irascibility, and inspiration of Britain's leader, who wanted to be both the general in the field and the presiding strategic genius. Yet, despite sacking his warlords ruthlessly, in the end Churchill was served by perhaps the greatest generals England has ever produced. The chapters cover such outstanding military men as Wavell, Ironside, Ritchie, Auchinleck, Montgomery, Alexander, Percival, Wingate, and Carton de Wiart.This copy is in excellent condition.

Description:
This is a first edition, and likely the only edition, of Dunkirk and After, written by the British journalist Gordon Beckles (Willson). Beckles was a real Fleet Street man and wrote several books, very quickly and with somewhat lurid covers (another one of this books was Tanks Advance!).
This book is undated and no other sources seem to know when it was published. But it's on wartime paper and he likely wrote it right after the evacuation, so it was probably published in 1941.
As you can see, the dust jacket says it's a day-to-day narrative, a behind-the-scenes record, with eye-witness accounts. 253 pages with lots of photos. It was the property of E Dorothy Chattanson, who signed the front endpaper. The dust jacket is tattered and there is fading to the book's cover. The inside of the book is in excellent condition.
