Description
8vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece and plates; original tan cloth, backstrip lettered in brown, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter very lightly chafed at extremities. Remarkably well-preserved copy of a mid-WWII morale-booster promoting the new breed of British soldier born of the travails of the early war years. Unsurprisingly, a number of the plates are drawn from achievements in the Western Desert. In this condition, a scarce survival. Enser, p.76.
