Sobre este item
First edition hardcover with dust jacket, published by Lippincott, 1966. An account of the First Afgan War of 1839, with a focus on the individual soldiers and leaders on both sides. Patrick Macrory served with the British Army during World War II, first in France, then in North Africa, and then in the Middle East. His great-great-uncle was Major Eldred Pottinger, served in the Afgan War, and his story is memorably told here. The dust jacket is intact and has been protected with a clear, removable, Brodart brand cover. It has been price clipped and there is a chip at the spine, and two tears with some creases on the back of about two inches each. 352 pages with Sources and Index. The sewn binding is straight and square. The boards have an attractive marbleized pattern, over black cloth covered spine. Boards are flat, with just very minimal wear at the heel of the spine. Corners are straight and not bumped. There is a square of residue from what was most likely an original price sticker on the front paste down and ffep - about 1/2 inch square. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. This is not a former library copy. The edges of the text block have some light tanning from age. Attached is a photo of the copy we have in our inventory.
