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:
These are two first editions, both from 1975, of photographic records of the Victorian and Edwardian armies.
The first is The Victorian and Edwardian Army, compiled by the British writer John Fabb and published in 1975. (I also have the Royal Navy in Old Photographs listed here on eBay.)
It is a wonderful cornucopia of images dating from the 1840s to just prior to the first world war. The captions are great and the photographs themselves are mostly of extraordinary quality given the time they were taken. More than anything however, the breadth of subjects captured makes this book stand apart from many picture books about the British Army. Beautiful collection.
150 pages with 154 photos. There is one loose page, otherwise in excellent condition.
The second book is The Victorian Army in Photographs, compiled by David Clammer and published by David & Charles. 96 pages, full of photos and explanatory text. There is very minor wear to the dust jacket. The book is in perfect condition.

Description:
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.

From a review:
"The creation of the United States of America is the greatest of all human adventures," begins Paul Johnson. "No other national story holds such tremendous lessons, for the American people themselves and for the rest of mankind."
In his prize-winning classic, Johnson presents an in-depth portrait of American history from the first colonial settlements to the Clinton administration. This is the story of the men and women who shaped and led the nation and the ordinary people who collectively created its unique character. Littered with letters, diaries, and recorded conversations, it details the origins of their struggles for… Read More

Description:
This book is undated, but it was published to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, so it would be 2016.

James Joyce was an Irish novelist, short story writer, poet, teacher, and literary critic who is regarded as one of the most important writers of the 20th century. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) is one of his great works. It is a coming-of-age novel, heavily autobiographical, depicting the childhood and adolescence of the artist.

This copy has not been read and the spine is uncracked.Its only flaws are some dappling on the page edges--not on the pages.And, as you can see, there's a little spot on the dust jacket, on the spine, where the paper has been scratched. Otherwise, it's perfect.
