Register

301 pages, 39 illustrations, 25 sketch maps, red cloth gilt with armorial crests, dust jacket preserved in a protector, slight dust soiling on the top edge, overall a very good copy.

Publisher's Note: Of particular interest is the part of the book devoted to the First World War ... The author gives a full account of the East African campaign which includes what he describes as "possibly the most disgraceful defeat a British Army has ever suffered", the fight at Tanga, and he also records the opening phases of Allenby's victorious campaign in Palestine'
