Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "First published in Great Britain in 1996 by Leo Cooper." Because the impatient FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, ordered the cavalry to do the infantry's job, of course, sending his aide-de-camp, Capt. Louis Nolan, that supercilious twit, to order the Earl of Lucan (and thus the Earl of Cardigan) to "attack immediately" -- Nolan waving his arm down the valley toward the Russian guns. Interestingly enough -- and contrary to poetic reports -- most survived. (Though the better question is what they were doing in the Crimea in the first place.) With some interesting sketches and period B&W photos reproduced on glossy stock . . . and some curiously hard-to-understand maps. The charge -- at the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War, Oct. 25, 1854 -- was immortalized in the poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, published just six weeks after the event. 285 pp. including index. Reduced from $21.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The Enigma Of General Blaskowitz, Giziowski, Richard. Leo Cooper; P & S Ltd., London, 1997. First Edition. Red and black boards; gilt spine titles. Unclipped dustjacket protected in mylar. In fine, unread condition. Includes maps, photographs, index etc. Johannes Blaskowitz, was a German colonel-general, a tank specialist who commanded German military forces on several fronts during World War II . On Oct. 22, 1939, he was made military governor of the German occupying forces in Poland. There he directed two memoranda to higher authorities documenting cases of rape, murder, and looting of Jewish and Polish shops by the SS and other nonmilitary Nazi police and complaining that they operated outside the law and that he had no control over them. Adolf Hitler, infuriated at such statements, dismissed him from several army commands. Blaskowitz was eventually returned to command and served on several fronts. In 1944 he was an army group commander under General Gerd von Rundstedt and helped prepare a defense against the expected Allied invasion of northern France. In early 1945 he commanded German troops in the Netherlands, where he surrendered to the Allies. A defendant in one of the war crimes trials, he apparently committed suicide, leaping to his death in the Nürnberg prison. (There were claims that he was pushed to his death by agents of the SS.).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Roni Wilkinson (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners bruised, not price clipped (£18.95), long interesting presentation inscription to ffep 'Bishop John, Please accept this history of Kohima as a small gift from Headquarters Second Division in York. I hope that it will 'inform' the great homily we so look forward to hearing in the Minster. Patrick Patrick Cordingly (? illegible) 27th April 1995'. Internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 248pp, illustrated. In May 1942 British and Indian forces in Burma were defeated by 33 and 55 Japanese Divisions and driven into India where, under General Slim, the 14th Army was formed and trained. In April 1944 it was launched into victory. General Mutaguchi, commanding the 15th Japanese Army, was obsessed by the conquest of India, and when Wingate's chindits fought in the awful hills and valleys of Burma Mutaguchi's resolve was strengthened by the conviction that, if the British could do it, his Japanese certainly could. Before Mutaguchi's impending offensive, Bill Slim drew back his Forward Divisions to the Imphal Plain, to fight on the enemy ground. To the north, however, the entire Japanese 31 Division had crossed the Chindwin and on 5th April they arrived at the hill station and road junction of Kohima, cutting off Imphal, except by air. Kohima was initially manned by only 266 men of the Assam Regiment and a few hundred convalescents and administrative troops. They were joined on 5th April by 440 men of the 4th Battalion of the Royal West Kent Regiment. In pouring rain, under continual bombardment, this tiny garrison held the assaults of 13,000 Japanese troops in hand to hand combat for 16 days. They the Punjabis, Gurkhas, Rajputs, Queens, Berkshires, Dorsets, Worcesters, Norfolks, Royal Scots, Royal Welch Fusiliers, Lancashire Fusiliers, Camerons, Durhams, the Artillery and the RAF took over, and on 6th June Kohima was finally freed. This is an account of that extraordinary battle, described by Mountbatten as 'probably one of the greatest battles in history'. I am not sure who 'Bishop John' is, it maybe Archbishop John Sentamu who became Bishop of Stepney and also Bishop of Birmingham, before being appointed Archbishop of York in 2005. John Horace Ragnar Colvin (1922-2003), was a British sailor, intelligence officer, banker and military historian.
