8vo., First Edition, with plates and maps; cloth, a near fine copy in dustwrapper. The untold story of Allied discord at the Falaise Gap. The fourteen miles between Falaise and Argentan have come to be known simply as the Falaise Gap. Because Eisenhower was unable to maintain Allied military solidarity, between 12 and 21 August 1944 it became the escape route for over 100,000 German troops fleeing the Normandy battlefields. A valuable addition to the literature of the aftermath of Overlord.

8vo., First Edition, with fine portrait frontispiece and 65 plates and maps (a number full-page) on 39, neat contemporary inscription on front free endpaper; red cloth, gilt back, red top, a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter with one short closed tear on front panel and lightly browned on (predominantly white) rear panel. 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 our times. Baxter, 268; Enser, p.277.
