Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

3rd printing. A book of reminiscences. "Each chapter has a self-contained feeling which comes from the necessity to focus on an event or place.Witty and easy to read though his adventures are, they are not superficial. Order to View is one man's record of four low, dishonest decades. It's both valuable social history and good literature." (New Statesman). Pp.222, inscribed by the author "Paul, best wishes. René Cutforth" [prob. Artist and author Paul Hogarth] to front free endppaper, small spot to closed fore-edge not affectinng pages inside. Maroon cloth, dustwrapper has minor edge wear but is in a removable clear protective wrap. Plus: black and white photograph of the author and a handwriitten letter from his widow, Sheila, loosley enclosed, as well as a one page handwritten summary of his life.

In World War II he saw active service as a commissioned officer with the British Army in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and fought in the Western Desert Campaign, where he was taken prisoner of war in 1941, spending the remainder of the war in prisoner of war camps in Italy and Germany. He joined the British Broadcasting Corporation on return to England in 1946, and became a well known broadcaster and travelled the world as a BBC correspondent. He reported on the Korean War. During his television broadcast career he wrote and produced several documentary series, including, Bird's Eye View (a televisual study of the British Isles from the air), and The British Empire - Echoes of Britannia's Rule . Reviewing one of Cutforth's television programmes entitled The Forties Revisited, the critic Clive James wrote in The Observer: "Cutforth is that rare thing, a front man with background. Fitzrovia and Soho weigh heavily on his eyelids. His voice sounds like tea-chests full of books being shifted about.".He died in his 76th year at Great Maplestead, in the county of Essex on 1 April 1984." (wiki).…
