Description

189 pages. Front endpaper map. Black and white photo portrait of author. "Author describes simply and vividly the desert campaigns in which he took part. The last retreat, from Gazala to El Alamein, culminated for him in his capture by the Germans in July, 1942 when his leg was shot off. These experiences must indeed be read to be believed. The prison-hospital in Italy; the life, if it may be called life, lived by him and his fellow prisoners is observed in great detail." - from dust jacket. Light wear to unmarked book. Binding tight. Average wear to complete dust jacket which is now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy. Book
