Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. As photographed. The book would be described as 'near-new' were it not that the previous owner has been enraged by certain editorial decisions (with cause, many will think) and has expressed his/her frustration on the cover verso in trenchant comments (the comments are dated 'Hogmanay 2006' so….). That apart, the book is in perfect condition, clean and unmarked - and it is a fascinating insight into Mongolia - being a report written, not for publication, but as an official description of the country, its peoples, the politics etc. to inform the British Government by the British Consul in 1902. 168pp incl 5 maps. "Author's Note: The following notes are based mainly upon a journey . in Outer Chihli and Mongolia. Observations made in earlier excusrsions, and especially a diary of .the Chahar country in 1899, are also drawn upon. Peking was the point of my departure. It lies in the extreme north of the great Chihli plain, within a score of miles from the south edge of the Mongol escarpment. To the Mongols there was much that was inexplicable in my apparently purposeless wanderings, but it seemed quite natural that I should come from Peking . the abode of the supreme mortal, the Emperor of China.

Trade paperback. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. [8], 167 p. Map. Uncovered Editions are historic official papers which have not previously been available in a popular form. This series has been created directly from the archive of The Stationery Office in london and the items have been selected for the importance and clari…ty of the narrative and other information. From Wikipedia: "The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre, was a seminal event in the British rule of India. On 13 April 1919, a crowd of non-violent protesters, along with Baishakhi pilgrims, had gathered in the Jallianwala Bagh garden in Amritsar, Punjab to protest against the arrest of two leaders despite a curfew which had been recently declared. On the orders of Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer, the army fired on the crowd for ten minutes, directing their bullets largely towards the few open gates through which people were trying to run out. The figures released by the British government were 370 dead and 1200 wounded. Other sources place the number dead at well over 1000. This "brutality stunned the entire nation", resulting in a "wrenching loss of faith" of the general public in the intentions of Britain. The ineffective inquiry and the initial accolades for Dyer by the House of Lords fuelled widespread anger, leading to the Non-cooperation Movement of 1920 22. On Sunday, 13 April 1919, Dyer was convinced of a major insurrection and he banned all meetings, however this notice was not widely disseminated. That was the day of Baisakhi, the main Sikh festival, and many villagers had gathered in the Bagh. On hearing that a meeting had assembled at Jallianwala Bagh, Dyer went with fifty Gurkha riflemen to a raised bank and ordered them to shoot at the crowd. Dyer continued the firing for about ten minutes, until the ammunition supply was almost exhausted; Dyer stated that 1, 650 rounds had been fired, a number which seems to have been derived by counting empty cartridge cases picked up by the troops. Official British Indian sources gave a figure of 379 identified dead, with approximately 1, 100 wounded. The casualty number estimated by the Indian National Congress was more than 1, 500, with approximately 1, 000 dead. Dyer was initially lauded by conservative forces in the empire, but in July 1920 he was censured and forced to retire by the House of Commons. He became a celebrated hero in Britain among most of the people connected to the British Raj, for example, the House of Lords, but unpopular in the House of Commons, that voted against Dyer twice. The massacre caused a re-evaluation of the army's role, in which the new policy became "minimum force", and the army was retrained and developed suitable tactics for crowd control. Some historians consider the episode as a decisive step towards the end of British rule in India, although others believe that greater self-government was inevitable as a result of India's involvement in World War I." Good. Pencil erasure residue on fep. Reprint. Abridged edition from the original 1920 work.

Softcover / Paperback. Condizione: Fine. First edition. Softcover. SIGNED BY MALCOLM FEWTRELL. From the 'Moments of History' Series, historic official papers which have not previously been available in a popular form. They have been chosen for the quality of their story-telling and are illustrated with contemporary photographs a…nd drawings. In the early hours of August 8th, 1963, a gang of at least 15 men stopped and attacked the Glasgow to London mail train near Leighton Buzzard in Buckinghamshire. They made off with 120 mailbags containing almost £2.6 million, a huge amount of money in those days. It was the biggest robbery of all time. The book's text follows an extract from the report (which has been edited to secure anonymity) of HM's Inspector of Constabulary, submitted to the Home Office in 1964, just over a year after the robbery had taken place. At the time of writing the investigation was not complete: much of the stolen money had not been recovered and at least 3 criminals were still at large. A brief postscript covers the later arrest and sentencing of Ronald 'Buster' Edwards, Bruce Reynolds and James White - and the re-arrest of Ronnie Biggs in 2001, 36yrs after his escape from prison. Profusely Illus. 178pp. trade size soft cover. FLAT SIGNED BY MALCOLM FEWTRELL who was head of Buckinghamshire's CID and led the initial investigation into the Great Train Robbery in 1963. F. with no creasing to covers.
