Were that not sufficient The author also brings colour and character to his writing by recounting the exploits and experiences of the humbler participants of these monumental events. A well rounded piece of research and writing with deserved classic status. The original was published in English translation in 1914 and was soon accepted as a seminal work on the subject. * This is a FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with absolutely minimal shelf wear.*
