About This Item
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1920. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London, Hodder and Stoughton, [circa 1920]. Large octavo, xx, 468 pages with 20 maps and diagrams plus 3 folding maps and 16 plates (including 2 tipped-in colour plates). Gilt-decorated cloth a little marked and slightly unevenly sunned; edges foxed, with occasional scattered foxing elsewhere; flyleaves heavily offset, with minor silverfish damage to the bottom corner of the rear one; a very good copy. The foreword is by Marshal Foch.
