Seller's Description:
None. Very Good Indeed. A very scarce first edition of this work on the Army by Leopold Amery. This work is an expansion on Amery's articles on the conduct of the Second Boer War for The Times. Signed by Amery to the front endpaper, 'H A Sargeaunt from L.S. A' Sargeaunt was a fellow correspondent, who wrote many articles on Foreign affairs and co-authored 'Grand Strategy: The Search for Victory'. Amery was known for his opposition to appeasement, and his interest in military preparedness. During the Second Boer War, he was a correspondent for The Times. His attack of the commander Sir Redvers Henry Buller contributed to his sacking. He was the only correspondent to visit Boer forces. This work advocates for the reorganisation of the British Army, as the Boer War had exposed deficiencies in its practice. Bookplate to the front pastedown, 'This book is the property of H A Sargeaunt who has kindly loaned it to A O R G Library. Please take care of it as you would one of your own books'. An important work, which outlines some critical points on army reform, by someone who observed the conduct of the institution first-hand. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart. Minor fading to the spine, which is lightly bumped to the head and tail of spine. Bookplate to the front pastedown. Signed by the author to the recto of front endpaper. Internally, generally firmly bound. Lightly strained to pages 144-145. Pages are very bright with just the odd spot. Very Good Indeed.
