Sobre este item
[6], 202 pp.First edition of a biography of General Sir Edmund Allenby (later, Field Marshal and Viscount, 1861-1936). The work treats his Arabian period as commander of the cavalry division in Palestine during the First World War. Allenby made his name in Palestine. He rebuilt the Egyptian Expeditionary Force, established up-to-date Western Front standards of operations, and restored the force's confidence and morale. Allenby's forces defeated the Turks at the final Battle of Megiddo (September-October 1918) to occupy Transjordan, Syria, and Lebanon. Afterwards, he became high commissioner in Egypt. The present biography is largely based on accounts of figures connected to Allenby, such as T.E. Lawrence "of Arabia". Lowell Jackson Thomas (1892-1981) was an American writer, actor, broadcaster, and traveller.With the large ex libris bookplate of D.C. D'Arcy Orders (a black-and-white printed helmed coat-of-arms) on the front paste-down and a small black stamp in the upper outer corner of the first flyleaf: "D'Arcy". The binding shows minor signs of wear, mainly around the head and foot of the spine and the corners of the board, somewhat foxed throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l O'Brien F1045.
