Becke's account was first published as two volumes in 1914 and rapidly established itself as one of the most important twentieth century studies. A revised and expanded edition was issued as a single volume in 1936 (here reprinted), firstly to incorporate much new matter and secondly to assist readers and scholar in following more easily the campaign in its entirety.

Includes a bibliography. Scarce in anything like this condition. Sandler 274 (recording the first edition).
