Condition: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1966). SB. xviii + 556pp with 40 maps and diagrams. and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £22 This, the fourth in the eight volumes of the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War describing the war in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern theatres, narrates the defeat of the Axis forces in North Africa in 1942-43. The survival of Malta against determined Axis assaults enabled the Allies to cripple supplies to Rommelâs Afrika Korps, while building up their own land, air and sea forces. The entry of America to the war in December 1941 had allowed the allies to co-ordinate a grand strategy for the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern theatre. In October 1942, after careful preparation and a massive artillery bombardment, General Montgomery launched the Eighth Army against the Afrika Korps in the Battle of El Alamein, while in November, âOperation Torchâ the Anglo-American amphibious landings in French -ruled North Africa, scored an almost bloodless success and proved a dry run for D-Day in 1944. Squeezed between the Allied nutcrackers to the west and east, the Germans offered stubborn resistance in the Tunisia campaign of 1943, at the battles of Kasserine Pass and the Mareth Line, but after suffering severe casualties, the Allies broke through and the Axis forces in North Africa surrendered in May 1943. The text is supported by 12 appendices, 40 maps and diagrams and 44 photographs.

Condition: New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1954). SB. xxii + 664pp with 43 maps and diagrams. and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £22 This, the third of eight volumes in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War, dealing with the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern theatres, describes the nadir of British fortunes in the region. Covering the year from September 1941 to September 1942, the book opens with the latest round in the ding-dong battle in North Africa with âOperation Crusaderâ, Britainâs bid to relieve the besieged port of Tobruk and chase Rommel from the western desert. The authors emphasise how Britain was hampered by obsolescent equpiment such as the Crusader tank. Despite this, British, Australian and South African forces relieved Tobruk and entered Benghazi on Christmas Day 1941 - only to evacuate it after Rommelâs swift recovery the following month. At sea, the Royal Navy suffered serious blows with the loss of âArk Royalâ and âBarhamâ and a daring Italian âhuman torpedoâ attack on British ships in Alexandria harbour. Axis air attacks on Malta and convoys supplying it reached their peak in April, and the island was awarded the George Cross for its gallant defence. Rommel counter-attacked in the desert in May, defeating the Eighth Army at Gazala, and on June 21st Tobruk was lost. But the Axis attempt to take Cairo was stalled at the battle of Alam el Halfa, and after General Auchinleck was replaced by General Montgomery, the Allies prepared to go back on the offensive. With 11 appendices, 40 maps and diagrams and 40 photographs.

Spine slanted, map has some creasing from being mis-folded, contemporary owner's signature on title page. Text and plates clean. "Butler's accounts of his adventures are the most poetic and the most personable of the 19th-century Canadian travel narratives. His lyrical descriptions of landscape, climate and seasonal change testify to his deep admiration for the sheer, unpopulated expanse and beauty of the Canadian West. Sent by the English in 1870 to gather intelligence about the Red River Resistance, Butler actually met with Louis Riel at Ft Garry; his description of the encounter remains one of the most vivid portraits of Riel in our literature" (Canadian Encyclopedia).

'Walter Butler, who had married Elizabeth Chalcroft in 1628, fled Ireland in 1634 and settled near Chichester in present day West Sussex, England, where several generations of Butlers have lived.

An extremely rare pamphlet detailing the history of the West Sussex ( Fernhurst ) Butlers from c1634 through to the publication date. Captain John Butler was serving in the 55th Regiment Bengal Native Infantry when he compiled this short history, hence the place of publication.
