Descrizione

8vo., First Edition thus, with portrait frontispiece, 28 plates on 14, 22 maps (several full-page) in the text, 2 large folding maps and coloured front and rear endpaper reproductions of sketch-maps by Rommel; handsomely bound in full dark red crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, ribbon marker, in custom-made-slip-case, an elegant copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. 'No commander in history has written an account of his campaigns to match the vividness and value of Rommel's'. Hart was in no doubt about the responsibility of his task, the more so since much of this unique material had to be painstakingly reassembled from its various hiding-places safe from Hitler's eyes. Half a century later, the brilliance of Hart's achievement is undimmed. An outstanding record from one of the greatest commanders of the war. SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.374.
