First World War Signed
[Buy it!] | Martin Gilbert | USD 82.54
(Mon Jun 3 02:01:11 2024) | Biblio | Books-and-records.com, IOBA | Appears to be a Book Club edition but there is no mention of this and the only evidence is the number CN 9871 on the copyright page. The ISBN still appears on the back of the DJ. Light general wear to both book and unclipped DJ, which is protected in an archival sleeve. Signed, dated and located by Gilbert on the title page. Patriotism revealed its highest manifestations in the First World War. In every army, deeds of glory were engraved in the annals of each nation. Yet in the midst of valour and enthusiasm, the seeds of disillusion and despair found a fertile ground. Men turned against their officers. Soldiers turned against their governments. Cabinet Ministers struggled to retain the loyalty of the masses. Enormous war debts were incurred, war-making spilled into new and destructive courses: on land, at sea and in the air. Long-distance shells fell on Paris, bombs on London. Behind the scenes, each would-be victor listed the hoped-for spoils. Empires were carved up on paper long before they were dead. Amidst it all, as this book shows, idealism refused to die. Weighty book. Uncommon signed. Date: 1994. Weidenfeld & Nicolson/BCA ISBN 0297813129 9780297813125 [GB] |
