Sobre este item
This is a pristine copy of the first US edition (stated) of Fisher's Face, or Getting to Know the Admiral, written in 1969 by the Welsh historian Jan Morris.
John Fisher, aka Jacky or Jackie Fisher, was a British Admiral of the Fleet, and later First Sea Lord, known for his efforts at naval reform. He had a huge influence on the Royal Navy in a career spanning more than 60 years, starting in a navy of wooden sailing ships armed with muzzle-loading cannon and ending in one of steel-hulled battle cruisers, submarines and the first aircraft carriers. The argumentative, energetic, reform-minded Fisher is considered the second-most important figure in British naval history, after Lord Nelson.
Unclipped dust jacket, 297 pages, including photos. Front endpaper signed from daughter to father.
