Hardcover/Hardback. Condición: Very Good. First Edition. Written by a decorated veteran and Victoria Cross recipient, The Only Enemy examines the concept of war's inexorable adversary "the only enemy" and explores the internal and external battles faced by soldiers. Awarded the VC at twenty-one, Brigadier Sir John Smyth has since followed on the flood tide of England's history for close on half a century, and he here recounts his life with no hint of vainglory in the direct simplicity of the telling. Whether he writes of that first fine exploit in France in 1915, at the head of his small band of great-hearted Sikhs, or of Dunkirk, where he was the only Indian Army officer to command a fighting formation, or of the disastrous battle of the River Sittang in the tragic Burma campaign, his steadfast courage burns through the words of the narrative. In victory and in defeat, in his premature retirement from the Service after his advice was ignored and the Burmese defeat made inevitable for himself and his men, he remains unchangingly loyal, only the cold lucidity of his analysis of the situation in military terms revealing with steely logic where blame should be apportioned. In later years he has made a name for himself as a journalist and Member of Parliament. With first-hand reflections on campaign service, leadership, strategy and the enduring face of conflict, Smyth's memoir invites both historian and collector into the mind of a warrior whose era bridged imperial and modern warfare. No writing or marks on the cover or in the text, nice tight copy with some shelf wear, bumps, etc. …

Hardcover. Condición: Good. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is the descendant of two famous cadet establishments, the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich and the Royal Military College, known respectively as 'the Shop' and 'RMC' or Sandhurst'. Sir John Smyth tells the story of 'the Shop' and 'RMC' from their foundation in the eighteenth century, when the life of the gentleman cadet was wild and his studies spasmodic, through the reforms of the Victorian period and their vital contribution during two World Wars, until their amalgamation in 1947: He then gives an absorbing account of the life of the Sandhurst cadet in the 60s and concludes with an analysis of the functions of Sandhurst in the nuclear age.Sir John Smyt. …
