Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. This listing includes two separate stapled booklets. The full title of the first is long: Appearance of Major Fidel Castro Ruz, Prime Minister of the Revolutionary Government and First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, Analyzing Events in Czechoslovakia, Friday, August 23, 1968, Year of the Heroic Guerrilla. That's a mouthful. The second full title you can see in the photo: Cuba's Revolution: I Saw the People's Victory. This book was written by Joseph North. North worked as a correspondent for The Daily Worker, the Communist newspaper, and its successor, The Daily World, for 45 years. He covered the civil war in Spain in the late 1930's with the Loyalist army and the United States Army's liberation of German concentration camps in the waning days of World War II. While assigned by The Worker in Cuba in 1961 he accompanied the forces of Prime Minister Castro when they repelled the Bay of Pigs invasion. On assignment in Hanoi in 1972 he filed dispatches on the United States's Christmas bombing of the North Vietnamese capital. On the front cover of Cuba's Revolution the previous owner penned the following words: 'This was written the same month as the Revolution probably the first account in the USA.' There is no other writing in this booklet. It runs 23 pages. The binding is a stapled one. It is very solid. All of the pages are nicely tight as are the covers. The booklet is in excellent condition. The pages are very clean. I'm not finding any soiling. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing. There are no markings and there are no attachments. The binding of Appearance Of Major Fidel Castro is also a stapled one. It too is very solid with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The front cover has what appears to be a few jags of pen or pencil lines near the bottom. The pages are very clean. There are 35 numbered pages followed by an unnumbered photograph. The top corners of the pages have a light crease, the kind created by a light bump, not a sharp placeholding crease. The pages are clean. The previous owner did place red pen lines next to paragraphs of interest, also underlined a dozen phrases or sentences.…

Print. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. The Illustrated London News; No. 2071; Vol. LXXIV; Folio; 1 pages; Image measures 14.5 X 9 inches; matted measures 22 X 14 inches. Full page with two wood engravings from the February 22, 1879 issue of The London Illustrated News depicting Helpmakaar, Near Rourke's Drift AND On the Lower Tugela -- each From a Sketch by Major North Crealock. Lower right corner monogram "J.G.," engraved by John Greenaway, father of Kate Greenaway, who was a draughtsman and wood-engraver whose illustrations frequently appeared in the Illustrated London News and Punch. First Engraving: The Battle of Rorke's Drift (1879), also known as the Defence of Rorke's Drift, was an engagement in the Anglo-Zulu War. The successful British defence of the mission station of Rorke's Drift, under the command of Lieutenants John Chard of the Royal Engineers and Gonville Bromhead, began when a large contingent of Zulu warriors broke off from their main force during the final hour of the British defeat at the day-long Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879, diverting 6 miles (9.7 km) to attack Rorke's Drift later that day and continuing into the following day. Just over 150 British and colonial troops defended the station against attacks by 3,000 to 4,000 Zulu warriors. The massive but piecemeal attacks by the Zulu on Rorke's Drift came very close to defeating the much smaller garrison, but were consistently repelled.[9] Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to the defenders, along with a number of other decorations and honours. Second engraving: In February 1878 a commission was appointed by Henry Bulwer, the lieutenant-governor of Natal since 1875, to report on the boundary question. The commission reported in July and found almost entirely in favour of the contention of the Zulu. The third incident occurred in September, when two men were detained while on a sand bank of the Thukela River near the Middle Drift. Sir Bartle Frere described this matter in a despatch to Sir Michael Hicks Beach, who had replaced Carnarvon as Secretary of State for the Colonies: Mr. Smith, a surveyor in the Colonial Engineer Department, was on duty inspecting the road down to the Tugela, near Fort Buckingham, which had been made a few years ago by order of Sir Garnet Wolseley, and accompanied by Mr. Deighton, a trader, resident at Fort Buckingham, went down to the ford across the Tugela. The stream was very low, and ran under the Zulu bank, but they were on this side of it, and had not crossed when they were surrounded by a body of 15 or 20 armed Zulus, made prisoners, and taken off with their horses, which were on the Natal side of the river, and roughly treated and threatened for some time; though, ultimately, at the instance of a headman who came up, they were released and allowed to depart. Additional postage may be required. …
