Slight darkening of the edges of the text block, and the dust jacket is rubbed at each of the eight corners, with slight chipping at the top of the spine and front fold over crease. Digital image available upon request, to establish condition.. This book is a book about Vietnam. It is one woman's story of a war which has so divided the opinions of the world. It is however, more than just another book about that war. It is also a book about to love affairs -- 1 between the author and an Australian soldier: and the other, between the author of the Vietnamese people. The author writes critically and caustically about the behaviour of some American and South Vietnamese forces. She writes glowingly of the work being done by Australian and American medical teams. And she writes tenderly and compassionately about the ones who engaged the attention most -- the people of Vietnam -- -- -- the thousands of refugees who crowded streets: the hungry and the wounded; and the proud misunderstood tribesmen of the Vietnamese highlands -- the Montagnards. -- quick paraphrase of the front fold over the blurb.

African Trilogy; The North African Campaign in 1940-1943; Comprising Mediterranean Front, A Year of Battle and The End in Africa
Moorehead, Alan
ISBN: 187584743X
Text Publishing Melbourne 1997 Reprint
8vo - up to 9 ¾" tall - Octavo Photographic Card 575 g.; XII, 641 pages, three pages following further publications from the publishing house, preface by author and index. Double page map at the beginning of the text showing the top of North Africa and the Mediterranean area. The text is illustrated with the occasional map. Photographic front cover with black titles to the front panel and pink and black titles to the backstrip. A hint of rubbing to the book corners and age toning to the internal text and text block edges. " The Australian writer Alan Morehead was perhaps the finest journalist who covered World War II. African Trilogy is his best-selling account of the prolonged battles between the Allies and the Axis powers in North Africa from 1942 to 1943. Morehead's epic story is as extraordinary now as it was more than 50 years ago. Morehead, the author of Gallipoli and Cooper's Creek, is an effortless, electrifying writer with an instinctive understanding of the historic events he was witnessing. Here is the story of the Rats of Tobruk, their backs burned black by the sun and their muscles bulging like tennis balls, of Alamein with its ' green-blue sparkling sea' and salt flats that look like the ' surface of the moon', of Rommel's prized Afrika Korps locked in a battle for the ' dreary worn-out waste' of the West and Desert with Montgomery's Eighth Army." -- from the rear panel blurb.
