"This is a book about the experience of combat, by men who have been there. It is a book about danger and courage. Both are shown in many forms: whether braving enemy fire to storm an enemy-held beach; maintaining the frozen vigil of the tail gunner; or the nerve-jangling tension of jungle ambushes. It is also a book about comradeship and duty - the special bond with other members of an infantry platoon or the crew of a tank, ship or aircraft. Included are thirty-two accounts of combat on land, sea and air, from World War II to Desert Storm, which stand as a tribute to the countless others whose stories will never be told."

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near fine. First Edition. "W. B. Yeats revised his prose as assiduously as he did his poems. This book makes available for the first time authoritative texts of a distinct and coherent unit of Yeat's fiction. In 1897, Yeats completed The Secret Rose, a collection of seventeen stories; the stories were often republished, and each time Yeats modified the texts. The revisions of specific passages were extensive; in addition, he grouped and regrouped the stories, abandoning three and adding one. This variorum edition brings together all the stories associated with The Secret Rose. The basic text is taken from the page proofs of the deluxe edition of Yeats's collected works, set by Macmillan in 1931 and corrected by the author, but never published." Octavo: xxxiv, 271, [5] pp. Original brown cloth binding, with dark brown and yellow-stamped titling. A fine, unread copy in a near fine dust jacket with some light rubbing.…
