Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The Sword Bearers.Shelf wear to edges of D/J. Browning to spine of D/J. This book is a study of the great commanders on both sides in the First World War. it assesses the effect of individual character on great events and presents a masterly re-interpretation of the major issues of the war. Like the author's last book The Desert Generals, it gives most vigorous and moving portraits of men under the stress of supreme command, and discusses their handling of events and their relations with colleagues, politicians and subordinates. On a subject of far larger scipe and compexity than the earlier book it shows to even greater effect the author's powers of narrative, character study and lucid analysis. As can be seen from the back of this jacket, it has frawn high praise from two of our most eminent military historians. Contents: Author's preface. Author's Note. The Tragic Delusion. Sailor With a Flawed Cutlass. Travail, Famille, Patrie. Full Circle. Appendix: organisation of Armies in 1914. Bibliography. Acknowledgements. Index. Illustrated with Plates. 387 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
