The text is illustrated with black-and-white photographs, maps and colour reproductions of artwork. Blue coloured boards with gilt coloured titles to the back strip. Colour illustrated dustwrapper with black coloured titles to the front panel and black and red coloured titles to the back strip. In Roger Parkinson's brilliantly dramatic account of the war in the desert, he brings to vivid light of the discomfort suffered by both Axis and Allied troops – the heat, thirst and dust, and the incredible endurance of the soldiers who fought "the gentleman's war." Rubbing of the book edges with age toning of the text block edges and pages. Scattered foxing throughout. A little creasing of the top dustwrapper edge with rubbing of the panels. Patchy fading to the back strip and rear panel. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. [8], 9 - 200 pages,. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Illustrator: photographic. Quantity Available: 1.
