Condition: New. 2003 N & M Press reprint (original pub1889). SB. viii + 408pp with ten illus and one mapPublished Price £11.50 The expanded title of this book, as printed on the title page, is âA Narrative of the Peninsular Campaign 1807-1814, Its Battles and Sieges, Abridged from the History of the War in the Peninsular by Lieut-General Sir W.F.P.Napier, KCB.â This says it all. William Napier was the brother of the militarily more famous General Sir Charles, who made his reputation in India and is probably best known for his conquest of the province of Scinde. William, who like his brother did well in the Peninsular War, made his name as the author of the six-volume history War in the Peninsula and this is Dobsonâs abridged version. As he says in the introduction it has been his aim to give an account of only the principal events of this long and bitterly fought campaign, paying tribute to Napierâs âmasterpiece of detailed military history.â.

Lawrence "Lawrence of Arabia" recounts his role in the origin of the modern Arab world. At first a shy Oxford scholar and archaeologist with a facility for languages, he joined and went on to lead the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Turks while the rest of the world was enmeshed in World War I. With its richly detailed evocation of the land and the people Lawrence passionately believed in, its incisive portraits of key players, from Faisal ibn Hussein, the future Hashemite king of Syria and Iraq, to General Sir Edmund Allenby and other members of the British imperial forces, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom is an indispensible primary historical source. It helps us to understand today's Middle East, while giving us thrilling accounts of military exploits (including the liberation of Aqaba and Damascus), clandestine activities, and human foibles." ; tan colored cloth in beautifully illustrated dustjacket ; bookplate ; thick, heavy volume ; FINE/FINE.
