Fly West
SOUTHALL, Ivan (1921-2008)
Angus and Roberson London 1974 First UK Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hard Cover Publishers original blue boards with gilt lettering to spine and gilt motif to front cover. Dustwrapper: unclipped, slight bumping to corners and sunned spine, now protected in Brodart. Pictorial endpaper, slight damage to lower edge of front endpaper [binders fault] award certificate to half title page. 175pp. Pages clean and bright in firm binding. A magnificent collectors copy. Ivan Southall has written often about the war but in this book he tells his own story. It has taken thirty years before he was ready to tell the intensely personal story of his experiences as a young man thrust into the midst of World War II. It is a story of men surviving immense ordeals and yet its characters are now war heroes in the conventional mode. Southall's men were not so much bent on killing, as on staying alive. They are young men with whom today's youth may well identify, not through shared experience but through shared ideals and emotions. Fly West is a story as much for adults as young people, for those who have been to war and those who, hopefully, may be spared the experience. Very Good/Fine
