Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. A.S. Barnes and Co., New York. 1943. Hardcover. Book is tight, square and unmarked but for previous owner name marked out on front paste down. Book Condition: VG+; wear to bottom boards from shelving. No DJ. Red boards and spine with gold lettering on spine and on front board with char…acter drawing of Chico in uniform. 403 pp. This book was put together because there was still missing a book on the unimportant people who fight the wars and who the experts ignore. This book is a picture of places, people, armies and wars between 1933 and 1943; and the man who sees these wars and draws the pictures of the soldiers is Chico. A wonderful piece of non-fiction work on WWII.

A novel of World War II as experienced through the eyes of Chico, the main character, Mr. Longstreet (Ormsbee) introduces the book, reading in part: "This new book of mine covers the wars of the world, the people, the times, the joys, the troubles, and the personal histories of groups and friends - from the morning in Vienna when the workers were shelled in their apartment houses, the first military bloodshed of World War II, to the sounds of Americans in battle and the shape of Flying Fortresses over Berlin." Boldly signed and inscribed by the author on the front-free endpaper: "To Howard and Beatrice Velleman who read books and sometimes read mine --- Stephen Longstreet 'David Ormsbee'". Exterior corners of covers lightly frayed; light spine and edge wear in places. Ormsbee, David (Stephen Longstreet) (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).
