Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Athanassiou Phoebus
Gli eserciti della campagna italiana di Grecia (1940-1941)
br. Nell'ottobre del 1940 un esercito italiano forte di 200.000 uomini invase la Grecia dal confine albanese, in un territorio ampio e poco difeso. La Grecia contava però sul sopporto della Gran Bretagna, inizialmente solo con le forze aeree e navali, ma poi anche tramite truppe inviate dall'Africa del Nord. Il comandante greco Papagos era quindi superiore per numero ed equipaggiamento: ebbe dunque agevolmente successo nell'arrestare gli italiani e addirittura riuscì a ricacciarli in Albania e a metterli sulla difensiva. Fu ciò a motivare Hitler a inviare rinforzi agli italiani in difficoltà, rinviando la pianificata invasione dell'Unione Sovietica. Tavole a colori e fotografie rafforzano il testo nella puntuale descrizione delle truppe coinvolte, parte essenziale di questo studio completo su uno dei conflitti dimenticati della Seconda guerra mondiale.

".In 1861 Alfred Lacey Hough a thirty-five-year-old commission merchant left his wife his two sons and a comfortable home in Philadelphia to enlist as a sergeant in the Pennsylvania Volunteers. In his letters to his wife Hough -- who achieved the rank of captain and then brevet lieutenant colonel -- revealed his complete devotion to Northern war aims for he was an ardent champion of the Union cause. Each letter to his 'Dearest Mary' is the expression of a conscientious soldier who took great care to preserve for his descendents all of his experiences and observations during four crucial years of his life. Written by an educated literate soldier these letters are at once a valuable primary source for the historian and an exciting recreation of the events and moods of war. Hough served in the Western theater of operations and his accounts of such battles as Corinth and Chickamauga of the incidents along the route of Sherman's march on Atlanta contain all the color and impact of eyewitness description."

Atkin Ronald.
DIEPPE 1942: THE JUBILEE DISASTER.
London: Macmillan 1980. 306 pp 8vo 8 11/16" H. B&w photographs maps/battle plans. "At dawn on 19 August 1942 five thousand Allied soldiers landed at the French port of Dieppe in the first major test of the defence of the German-held coastline of Europe since Dunkirk. The codename given to the operation was 'Jubilee' and its aim was to capture Dieppe and the headlands which dominate the town hold them for a few hours and provide the Allied war planners with the vital information they needed about enemy preparedness for the Second Front demanded by the Russians to relieve their sorely-pressed armies in the East. In nine hours of carnage and horror 'Jubilee' became a disaster. A combination of over-rigid planning inadequate supporting firepower and - in the final hours before the raid - sheer bad luck inflicted on the Allies one of their worst defeats in a war which was already going badly. British Commandos carried out the flank attacks against coastal gun batteries which dominated the seaward approaches to Dieppe and one of these raids led by Lord Lovat was spectacularly successful. But the assault on the port itself and the beaches on either side of Dieppe the task of the Canadian 2nd Division was a disastrous and bloody failure. Ronald Atkin has pieced together the full story of that day at Dieppe from all sides - British Canadian German and French - and from sources which include official documents and reports and most graphic of all the reminiscences of the men of both sides who planned and fought in Operation 'Jubilee'. The result is a masterly account of one of the most extraordinary - and tragic - episodes of the Second World War." Minor finger mark on front free end paper tiny faint stain on fore-edge of text block. Dust jacket has been price clipped has light edge wear/wrinkling - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds very light rubbing. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
