First Edition. BLEEDING FROM THE ROMAN, Chapman & Hall, 1949, first edition, fine in near fine dust-wrapper save for a hint of tanning to the dust-wrapper spine and a bit of soiling to the rear dust-wrapper panel. A young 20th century ex-Commando is knocked unconscious in a motor accident and is mysteriously transported back 1900 years to the period of Boadicca's revolt against the Roman occupation. Fortunately he retains his car, guns and modern equipment and makes a useful contribution to the British of the past.
