Seller's Description:
VERY GOOD+ IN A VERY GOOD+ D.J. PUBLISHER'S ORIGIANL QUARTER BOUND OLIVE PAPER COVERED BOARDS WITH YELLOW CLOTH COVERED SPINE. SOME SPOTTING TO THE FORE-EDGE OF THE TEXT BLOCK WITH A SMALL STAIN ON THE BACK COVER. D.J. IS ABOUT FINE WITH A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE TEARS. AN EXCELLENT CLEAN AND TIGHT COPY. A powerful indictment of military stupidity and caste discrimination. Braddon's subject, beyond the horrific history of Kut, is the fallibility of generals, the viciousness of privilege in captivity, when privilege carries with it not responsibility, and the crucifixion of those in the ranks, whose lot it is not to reason why but, simply and uselessly, to die.
