Notes: This brand new book has sustained a heavy bump to the top front edge in shipping. The front cover has a 1 1/4" wide bump near the spine that has cracked the buckram cover several times. The front end paper and first 10 pages have a small bend in the same spot, but it is not too distracting when enjoying the book. The jacket is similarly wrinkled and has a 3/4" long tear. Otherwise the book is in excellent condition. Beautifully produced, it's a book anyone interested in military history will appreciate. In stock and ready to ship.
