16 weekly parts in 1 vol., roy. 8vo., First Edition, profusely illustrated in colour and monochrome throughout; ORIGINAL WRAPPERS PRESERVED, a very good, bright clean set in publisher's branded binder. Purnell's mammoth endeavour [together with its counterpart History of WWII] is arguably the crowning achievement of the 'partwork' fashion of the late 60s. Produced in collaboration with the Imperial War Museum, edited by Barrie Pitt and written by a host of eminent historians, scholars and veterans, the series is equally fortunate in having Liddell-Hart as editor-in-chief. Produced in 'magazine' format, the work as a whole makes full use of its size and space to create a lucid, vivid and valuable account of the conflict. The number, choice and quality of the photographs, illustrations and diagrams are worthy of special mention. COMPLETE VOLUMES IN BINDERS ARE SCARCE. Please note that additional postage will be required for shipping outside the UK.
