The beaches are exposed on all sides and are under continual fir. Fresh water is in desperately short supply. Searing heat, disease and exhaustion make impossible the clear-headed decisions upon which the lives of thousands depend. The brainchild of a headstrong Winston Churchill, the operation is commanded by semi-retired and too often second-rate commanders, recalled to service while fitter and more competent officers are sent to the Western Front. Whatever virtues the plan may have had, its effective execution is undermined almost from the beginning.* A FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with no visible faults in a FINE dust jacket in a clear un-attached protective cover.*
