Description
8vo., First Edition, with 48 plates on 24, and 13 full-page maps (one double-page) in the text, top faintly spotted; maroon cloth, backstrip lettered in blue, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly chafed at head and tail of backstrip. This classic memoir by the commander of 1 Airborne Division remains the best eye-witness account of the most poignant (and by far the most documented) airborne operation in history. Includes transcripts of the airborne corps instruction, confirmatory notes of GOC's verbal orders, glider and unit allotments and 1 Airborne Div OOB. THE ORIGINAL EDITION IS VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.36.
