London: Chatto & Windus Hogarth Press, 1984. Hardcover with unclipped dust jacket, 219 pages; elegant little book in grey cloth with very bright and clear gilt lettering to spine, spine ever so slightly slanted (and here's something I've never said before, this may be attributable to the extremely tight binding of the text block to the gleaming white endpapers), not a trace of shelf wear but there are gentle bumps to the spine ends and both bottom corners, overall very gently used, pages of a darker shade than the endpapers but not age toned, very clean and unmarked throughout; DJ gently bumped at spine and hinge ends, but very clean and unmarked. For more on the Falklands, see also our listing for The FALKLANDS WAR, edited by Peter Way, and for more military reportage, see our listings for Timothy Garton Ash's very scarce We the People [with New Postcript: Ten Years On] : The Revolution of '89 Witnessed in Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin and Prague, and for Charles Glass' Money for Old Rope: Disorderly Compositions (Introduction By Christopher Hitchens). . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good ++/Very Good ++.
