Description

8vo., First Edition, with portrait frontispiece and numerous photographs and maps in the text; red cloth, 30 Corps emblem blocked in gilt on upper board, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Superb record by Horrocks of his time (June 1944 to the Surrender) as commander of 30 Corps, one of the finest Allied fighting formations of WWII. Covers the Normandy breakouts and the action-packed drive through NW Europe. Horrocks' account of MARKET GARDEN, in which 30 Corps was effectively the spearhead of GARDEN, is a valuable addition to the Arnhem literature. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.13.
