MARDER Arthur J.
From the Dardanelles to Oran. Studies of the Royal Navy in War and Peace 1915-1940. NEAR FINE COPY IN DUSTWRAPPER
8vo., First Edition, with portrait frontispiece, numerous plates and 5 folding maps; black cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in price-clipped dustwrapper. Scarce collection of essays by the master naval historian. Much of the work is concerned with two major studies, the first of Churchill at the Admiralty during 1939-1940 and the second with the controversial attack on the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir.

MONTGOMERY Field-Marshal Bernard Law
The Memoirs of Field-Marshal the Viscount Montgomery of Alamein. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR
8vo., First Edition, with fine portrait frontispiece and 65 plates and maps (a number full-page) on 39; original red cloth, gilt back, red top (lightly faded as often), a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. One of the key military memoirs of the twentieth century, this is as much an autobiography as a soldier's account of war. Written entirely by 'Monty' himself (in pencil, as so many of his official communications were composed), this characteristically straightforward (and often politically outspoken) account covers boyhood, early service with the Warwickshires, WWII and beyond (notably, about a third of the work covers his post-war career as CIGS and after). For technical military detail we look to the author's other works; here we find the simple account of a 'soldier who kept the faith'. A great read from one of the unforgettable leaders of his times. SIGNED COPIES ARE VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Baxter 268; Enser, p.277.
