Descrizione
8vo., First Edition, with a portrait frontispiece, 13 plates and illustrations in the text; decorative green cloth gilt, gilt back, a near fine copy in price-clipped dustwrapper. Perhaps most widely known as the originator of the tank, Swinton was not only a remarkable soldier but a successful author and diplomat. His autobiography (completed and published just after his death) provides a vivid description of a period long since passed away, including his service as an Irregular in the South Africa War and his diplomatic missions to the US after WWI. SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
