Diary record of a South African soldier's experience of war in the Western Desert. "The second world war was many things to many people. To some, it represented an exciting alternative to a drab working existence, to others it provided evidence, if any was needed, of the fallibility of man who twenty years before, had acclaimed the end of the last great war. To some it was drudgery, boredom, frustration and futility, to others exhiliration, fascination and opportunity. James Ambrose Brown's war was all of these things but the enduring memory I shall have, is his ability often under adverse conditions to paint such a vivid word picture of his experiences that they are as fresh today as when he first recorded them. One Man's War is more than just a diary. It is a fascinating narrative by one of southern Africa's foremost writers." - Ian Mackenzie, D.S.O.…

210 x 150 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 112; colour photographs; line drawings. Fine condition. "This little book is the story of a man and a woman's love of a particular small garden and the thoughts and musings it brings to mind over the changing seasons. It is not a gardening manual or for specialists - far from it! It is for the pleasure of sharing how two people feel about a much loved creation - told in the rambling way of day-to-day jottings on the garden's moods and its joys. The aura of a Cape cottage gives it a special charm.".…

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 185 pages. DJ slightly worn/ faded. Text lightly tanned. Cape Howard Timmins Publishers [Published 1980]. Hardcover, 185 pages, 14 unn umbered pages of plates : black and white illustrations ; 24 cm. [From front jac ket flap] Apart from its importance as a historical narrative, the story told in these pages by a 22-year-old soldier has the unique quality of experience fresh ly captured - the truth of a soldier's life in the critical battles fought in No rth Africa in 1941-42. It is a personal view of war with its boredom, its moment s of terror, tenderness, and humour, and its final realisation that war is not a glorious game. It is written from the limited viewpoint of a young N.C.O., with his self-doubt, his fantasies, and his moments of despair. It chronicles the ha ndful of men around him - a section of mortarmen, griping, idle, insubordinate, extraordinarily light-hearted, never failing when courage was demanded - and fin ally dying together in the great and bloody battle of El Alamein, which is the c limax of the diary. Told in a day-to-day, sometimes hour-to-hour account, One Ma n's War is a book that will touch a responsive chord in the heart of every man w ho has borne arms-in any army. It has the singular merit of immediacy as the you ng writer (who went on to become one of South Africa's best-known) made his firs t efforts to capture the emotions of a soldier and to record what he saw as fait hfully as he was able - sometimes brutally, sometimes with comic irony, sometime s with a poetic eye for the a desert flower, a fall of rain, and even the sinist er beauty of falling flares. The diarist has edited the original here and there and added notes which give a picture of the actual military situation, often unk nown to the writer at the time. The original handwritten diary is in the South A.…
