Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

The cover is bumped at the edges and the back hinge is exposed and the front one foe a svery small section only. This does not affect the binding, which is solid. The pages are tanned. A clean, unmarked copy, though obviously second hand. 231 pages. "THIS curiously named book is about the campaigns in Sicily and Southern Italy. The suspicion aroused by its title is not altogether allayed by a reading of the book, which is made up by piecing together the contributions of two war correspondents. The book has faults. There are occasional slight inaccuraoies, no doubt due to hasty compilation. There is some unnecessary personal information about Americans, intended no doubt for "home town" consumption. And the general thesis, which makes the whole Italian surrender turn on the food situation, is a little too slick ; one prefers to suspend judgement until the information is more substantial. On the credit side, however, there are good descriptions of actions and experiences, including an extremely detailed account of the taking of Pantellaria. A particularly useful chapter, entitled "Without Glamour," describes the organisation of Palermo as a base by the United States Navy. There is also a valuable account of what Mr. Wagg saw at Salerno. On the whole, once one has discounted a certain pretentiousness, this book is a useful addition to the tale of those produced by war corre- spondents." (The Spectator, 31 March 1944) Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Descrizione dello Store

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.
