Descripción

8vo., First Edition, with title vignette, 12 plates on 8, and numerous decorations and 2 full-page maps in the text, neat signature on front free endpaper; decorative cloth gilt, gilt back, boards with very light fade marks else a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter with loss (affecting lettering) at head and tail of backstrip, and at lower left-hand corner of front panel. With dustwrapper artwork by Michael Harvey. Effectively a sequel to his splendid 'Bugles and a Tiger' (1956). Masters served as a middle-ranking officer in Burma throughout the war. This striking personal record of service with Gurkhas and Chindits (including his participation in Operation BLACKPOOL) therefore stands between the more usual views of generals and private soldiers, and includes illuminating portraits of Slim, Wingate and Stilwell among others. UNCOMMON. Enser, p.90; not recorded by Graham & Cole, which lists only the US (Harper) edition as M55.
