Listed below is my current stock in this subject, sorted in alphabetical order, by author. Please note that it is difficult to categorize some titles, which overlap different subjects; in these cases, the easiest procedure would be use the search box, which covers my entire stock. However, if searching for a particular title on this page only, the simplest method is to use "Control-F" to bring up the "Find" dialogue on screen. I have described the books as accurately as possible but will of course accept returns if a particular item is inadvertently not as described.

105870 Aksakal, Mustafa The Ottoman Road to War in 1914 Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010 [3rd imp.; first published 2008] 6” x 9¼”. [xv] + 216pp, maps. Black cloth gilt in d/j, As New. Why did the Ottoman Empire enter the First World War in late October 1914, months after the war’s devastations had become clear? Were its leaders ‘simple-minded,’ ‘below-average’ individuals, as the doyen of Turkish diplomatic history has argued? Or, as others have claimed, did the Ottomans enter the war because War Minister Enver Pasha, dictating Ottoman decisions, was in thrall to the Germans and to his own expansionist dreams? Based on previously untapped Ottoman and European sources, Mustafa Aksakal’s dramatic study challenges this consensus. It demonstrates that responsibility went far beyond Enver, that the road to war was paved by the demands of a politically interested public, and that the Ottoman leadership sought the German alliance as the only way out of a web of international threats and domestic insecurities, opting for an escape whose catastrophic consequences for the empire and seismic impact on the Middle East are felt even today.

108037 Bobroff, Ronald Park Roads to Glory : Late Imperial Russia and the Turkish Straits London: I. B. Tauris & Co. Ltd, 2006 5½” x 8¾”. [xii] + 251pp. Black cloth blocked in silver in d/j, bookplate on front pastedown otherwise Very Good. Until now, it has been accepted that the Turkish Straits - the Russian fleet’s gateway to the Mediterranean - were a key factor in shaping Russian policy in the years leading to World War I. Control of the Straits had always been accepted as the major priority of Imperial Russia’s foreign policy. In this powerfully argued revisionist history, Ronald Bobroff exposes the true Russian concern before the outbreak of war: the containment of German aggression. Based on extensive new research, Bobroff provides fascinating new insights into Russia’s state development before the revolution, examining the policies and personal correspondence of its policy makers. And through his detailed examination of the rivalries and alliances of the Triple Entente, he sheds new light on European diplomacy at the beginning of the twentieth century.

This is the most complete biography of a controversial man whose methods and ideals have been much quoted but frequently misunderstood and misrepresented.

To some people the Bulgar is so objectionable and inhuman that they become almost frenzied in their attempts to describe him; to others he appears to combine the virtues of Don Quixote, St. Anthony, and the Admirable Crichton.”

108464 Cassar, George H. Asquith as War Leader London: The Hambledon Press, 1994 6” x 9½”. [xiii] + 295pp, illustrations. Blue cloth gilt in d/j, As New. Asquith was at the pinnacle of his success when the course of his life and that of his country was changed by the outbreak of the First World War. Instead of being over by Christmas 1914, the war became a stalemate, with opposing trenches extending from the Channel coast to the Swiss border. During the initial stages of the war Asquith’s oratory, tact and skill, combined with his imperturbability and prestige, made him indispensable. As the war dragged on, his failure to show the ruthlessness needed to win at any cost made him ill-suited to direct the nation in total war. In December 1916 Asquith was manoeuvred out of Downing Street by Lloyd George. Asquith as War Leader is the first comprehensive study of this exceptionally talented Prime Minister’s war record. In a thorough examination of British war policy, with its evolutionary shifts and internal dissensions, George H. Cassar has defined the precise nature of Asquith’s involvement and responsibility. He describes Asquith’s part in bringing Britain into the war, in shaping war aims and strategy, and in mobilising the nation’s resources. Because he was not the Prime Minister who won in 1918, Asquith’s achievements in dealing with the problems of fighting a war on an unprecedented scale have been insufficiently recognised.

Brown boards gilt in d/j, As New. It is the autumn of 1628, and the East Indiaman Batavia, the largest and newest ship in the Dutch East India Company’s fleet, is loaded with a king’s ransom in gold, silver and gems for her maiden voyage to Java. She sets sail with great fanfare, but is never destined to reach Java, for the Company has also sent a new employee, Jeronimus Cornelisz - a disgraced bankrupt with disarming charisma and dangerously heretical ideas. With the help of the Batavia’s skipper and a group of disgruntled sailors, Jeronimus plots a mutiny that seems certain to be successful - but for one unplanned event. In the dark morning hours of 4 June 1629, the Batavia smashes through a coral reef and runs aground off the west coast of Australia in an unexplored chain of islands. The merchant in command of the ship takes the only boat and sets a course for Java, some 1800 miles away, to summon help, leaving over 200 survivors trapped on the desert island without water, food or shelter, unarmed and unaware of Cornelisz’s treachery, and soon they find themselves at the mercy of the mutineers. The book recounts what happened next - how Cornelisz seizes control of the island and begins to kill the survivors, one by one.

This book examines the careers of five distinguished twentieth century soldiers and assesses their contribution as statesmen. Hindenburg, Byng, Franco, Eisenhower and De Gaulle all came into political life in different circumstances but none did so in the name of the profession or to establish a praetorian state. Each was a professional soldier who found himself drawn into the political arena. Each of these essays illuminates one aspect of the range of political, sociological and historical issues which now surround the interrelationship of civil and military.

The author writes of the blood and muck of the trenches, and of the literary means by which that experience has been assimilated, remembered, and mythologized by writers such as Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, Edmund Blunden, Wilfred Owen, David Jones, Isaac Rosenberg, etc. From the Preface: “This book is about the British experience on the Western Front from 1914 to 1918 and some of the literary means by which it has been remembered, conventionalized, and mythologized. It is also about the literary dimensions of the trench experience itself. Indeed, if the book had a subtitle, it would be something like “An Inquiry into the Curious Literariness of Real Life”. This is the 1975 Book Club edition which is identical to the first U.S. edition in size, binding, production quality and pagination. The principal differences being the lack of both an ISBN and a printed price on the lower front dustjacket flap.

Studies in Secret Diplomacy During the First World War London: George Allen & Unwin, 1957 5½” x 8¾”. 430pp. Red cloth blocked in silver on the spine in a scuffed and chipped d/j, otherwise Very Good. From these studies of the secret diplomacy surrounding the entry of Turkey and Italy into the First World War, emerges a picture of the complex machinery behind the obvious wheels of international politics. The activities of statesmen and diplomats are related to the ramifications of bitg business, banks,oil and armament companies. The story of each move and counter-move, told mostly in the actors’ own words and with many quotations from actual memoranda and dispatches, is based on sources which are quite new. They include the Russian collections of confidential correspondence and the latest Documenti Diplomatici Italiani. This material has been integrated with that taken from all the available collections of British, French, German, Austro-Hungarian and American diplomatic documents, contemporary periodic, diaries, recollections and private letters of those involved.

Original blue boards gilt in a scuffed and rubbed d/j, otherwise Near Fine. This book examines the Habsburg Army s occupation of Serbia from 1914 through 1918. This occupation ran along a distinctly European-centered trajectory radically different from other great power colonial projects or occupations during the 20th century. Unlike these projects and occupations, the Habsburg Army sought to denationalize and depoliticize Serbia, to gradually reduce the occupation s violence, and to fully integrate the country into the Empire. These aims stemmed from 19th-century conservative and monarchical convictions that compelled the Army to operate under broad legal and civilizational constraints. Gumz s research provides a counterpoint to interpretations of the First World War that emphasize the centrality of racially inflected, Darwinist worldviews in the war.

As well as charting the historical background to the Persian Wars, his curiosity prompts frequent digression on the cultures of the peoples he introduces. While much of the information he gives has proved to be astonishingly accurate, he also includes tales of one-eyed men and gold-digging ants.”

Red cloth gilt in d/j, As New. In 480 BC, Xerxes, the King of Persia, led an invasion of mainland Greece. Its success should have been a formality. For seventy years, victory - rapid, spectacular victory - had seemed the birthright of the Persian Empire. In the space of a single generation, they had swept across the Near East, shattering ancient kingdoms, storming famous cities, putting together an empire which stretched from India to the shores of the Aegean. As a result of those conquests, Xerxes ruled as the most powerful man on the planet. Yet somehow, astonishingly, against the largest expeditionary force ever assembled, the Greeks of the mainland managed to hold out. The Persians were turned back. Greece remained free. Had the Greeks been defeated at Salamis, not only would the West have lost its first struggle for independence and survival, but it is unlikely that there would ever have been such and entity as the West at all.

The covers are rubbed, bumped and bowed. The front and rear covers are scuffed and dull. The spine is also rubbed, particularly at either end, but remains reasonably bright. Probably as an economy measure, the covers have been constructed with quite thin card under the cloth and this has a greater propensity to suffer from bumping: the spine ends and corners are bumped and there are a number of indentations along the edges of the boards. Also, the covers have bowed outwards (particularly the front cover). As far as I am aware, this slim volume has never been re-printed and the First Edition is rare. Apart from some passages being marked by a former owner, the other defects (bumping and bowing to the thin covers, fairly cheap paper which has tanned noticeably) are the result of War-time necessity.

Jeffries (1880-1960), was a British war correspondent, historian and author. Between 1914 and 1933 he wrote for the Daily Mail, serving as a war correspondent as head of the Paris bureau during World War I. He is reported to have set a record by reporting World War I from at least 17 counties by 1918, including Egypt, Albania, Greece, Italy, Austria, Belgium and France. In 1922, he travelled with the owner of the Daily Mail, Viscount Northcliffe, to Mandatory Palestine.

[x] + 279pp, illustrations Blue cloth in d/j, Fine. In the early twentieth century, an elite group of modern-minded scientists in Germany, led by the eminent organic chemist Emil Fischer, set out to create new centers and open new sources of funding for chemical research. Their efforts led to the establishment in 1911 of the chemical institutes of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Advancement of the Sciences, whose original staff included several future Nobel laureates. Although these institutes were designed to promote “free research” that would uphold German leadership in international science, they also came to promote the integration of science in the German war effort after 1914. According to Jeffrey Johnson, the development of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institutes exemplifies the origins and dilemmas of one of the most significant innovations in modern science: the creation of institutions for basic research, both theoretical and practical. The Kaiser Wilhelm Society was a quasi- official institution under the “protection” of Kaiser Wilhelm II, but it received most of its funding from German industry rather than the Imperial Treasury. After 1914, however, the Kaiser’s chemists and their institutes provided key support to the German war effort. Within a few months of the outbreak of World War I, the institutes had been integrated into war mobilization activities. They conducted research both in weapons, such as poison gas, and in strategic resources, especially synthetics to replace naturally produced goods cut off by Britain’s blockade of German ports. By examining the Kaiser Wilhelm Society in the framework of both scientific and social change, Johnson is able to answer questions that seem puzzling if not viewed from this dual perspective, such as why German chemists pushed for institutional change at this particular time. Johnson argues that the new institutes arose from a characteristically modern tension between internationally set scientific goals and the competing national priorities of a country headed for war. Johnson’s sources include the papers of Emil Fischer; the archives of several major German corporations, including Bayer, Hoechst, and Krupp; government records; and the archives of the Max Planck Society, which grew out of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society after World War II.

104950 Lamb, Richard Mussolini as Diplomat : Il Duce’s Italy on the World Stage New York: Fromm International, 1999 6¼” x 9¼”. 356pp, illustrations. Black boards in d/j, Fine. Reveals how Italy was pushed into Hitler’s arms by Anthony Eden’s serious blunder. Was Mussolini’s alliance with Hitler really foreordained? Could Italy have been kept out of World War II? Did the policy of England’s Anthony Eden really push Mussolini into Hitler’s arms instead of luring him back to his former policy of friendship with Great Britain? These are some of the intriguing questions that Richard Lamb asks in the course of examining Mussolini’s foreign policy toward Germany on the one hand and Britain and France on the other. Surprisingly, Mussolini began with a deep distrust of Hitler and feelings of friendship toward England as well as France, countries he felt might stand up to Hitler’s aggressive intent. He also despised Hitler’s anti-Semitism. But some disastrous miscalculations, especially by Anthony Eden, who later headed Britain’s Foreign Office, set the course for the eventual conflagration. These are the shocking conclusions that Lamb-in a revisionist assessment of Mussolini’s diplomatic blunders in his relations with the other powers in Europe-reached after studying documents that have been inaccessible for more than half a century.

Red cloth gilt in protected d/j, Very Good+/Very Good. From the Foreword: “This volume comprises practically all the author’s miscellaneous writings, with the exception of “Crusader Castles”. There remains nothing else which I intend to place before the general public.” The first part of this book contains all the hitherto uncollected writings by Lawrence about the East. First a Diary (Published as “The Diary of T. E. Lawrence MCMXI” published in a 203 copy edition by the Corvinus Press in 1937) kept during a journey which Lawrence made on foot through Norther Syria in the summer of 1911, chiefly for the purpose of studying and photographing Crusaders’ castles and of collecting antiquities for the Museum at Oxford. The Diary is illustrated by 19 photographs and sketches taken by Lawrence during his journey. From the Editor’s Note: “The Diary occupies a block of centre pages in a small canvas-bound notebook, the rest of which contains personal memoranda (expense accounts and addresses), data on the ancient East, translations of Arabic fables, etc. Each day’s happenings were described that evening and on the following morning. With the exception of an alteration in the initial date, the few corrections seem to have been inserted on reading through the day’s entry immediately after its completion; there is no sign of any general revision. The wording changes character according to the writer’s state of health, the punctuation varies correspondingly.” In addition the book contains the suppressed Introductory Chapter to “Seven Pillars of Wisdom; a series of character sketches of the Arabs whose portraits Eric Kennington drew for “Seven Pillars of Wisdom” (“On Eric Kennington’s Arab Portraits” from the Leicester Galleries Catalogue); an essay “The Changing East” which appeared anonymously in the “Round Table” (Sep. 1920); an essay “The Evolution of a Revolt” which appeared in the “Army Quarterly” (Oct. 1920) and later formed the basis for Chapter 33 of “Seven Pillars of Wisdom”. The second part of the book contains over 100 remarkable and mostly unpublished photographs taken by Lawrence during the Arab Revolt. Many of the events and places, later to be described in “Seven Pillars of Wisdom”, were recorded by him at the time with his camera.

107316 Le Queux, William [Introduction by Nicholas Hiley] Spies of the Kaiser : Plotting the Downfall of England London: Frank Cass, 1996 5½” x 8¾”. [xxxvi] + 219pp. Blue cloth blocked in silver, no d/j, covers rubbed otherwise Near Fine. With a long and important Introduction by Nicholas Hiley. “Extraordinary!” I declared. “But while you’ve wrested from Germany the secrets of some of our most important defences, you have, my dear Ray, temporarily lost the woman you love!” “My first duty, Jack, is to my King and my country,” he declared, sitting on the edge of the table in the spies’ photographic studio.’ In these stirring terms John James Jacox and Ray Raymond, the heroes of William Le Queux’s 1909 novel “Spies of the Kaiser”, dedicate themselves to defeating the army of German agents at work in Britain. Le Queux was the first and most prolific of all British spy writers, but Spies of the Kaiser was not just another tale of scheming foreigners and plucky British heroes, for this paranoid tale of German secret agents plotting the invasion of Britain played a major part in the formation of MI5 Britain’s counter-espionage organisation. In his introduction, intelligence historian Nicholas Hiley explains how Le Queux’s powerful blend of fact and fiction inspired a whole generation of British secret service officers, and led MI5 in a nationwide hunt for a non-existent enemy.

104333 Levene, Mark War, Jews, and the New Europe : The Diplomacy of Lucien Wolf 1914-1919 Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1992 5½” x 8¾”. [xvii] + 346pp, maps. Red cloth gilt in d/j, As New. The First World War was a major watershed in modern Jewish history. Out of it came the Balfour Declaration, a first critical step in the creation of the State of Israel, but also a radical redrafting of the political map of eastern and central Europe, with dramatic and potentially tragic consequences for its dispersed but substantial Jewish minority. In this lucid work, which was awarded the 1991 Fraenkel Prize for Contemporary History, Mark Levene approaches these developments through the diplomatic endeavours of Lucien Wolf, a British Jew who was both one of the chief exponents of the Balfour Declaration and as co-architect of the Minorities Treaty that provided an internationally endorsed framework for Jewish existence in Europe after World War I. Through an analysis of Wolf’s diplomacy, Levene examines how Jewish interests throughout Europe were affected by the Great War and how they were perceived by the warring powers. Levene shows how British support for Zionism was bound up with misconceptions about the Jewish role in Europe, notably that the revolutionary movement in Russia was Jewish-inspired and Jewish-led. Equally, however, he shows how the diplomatic activities of Wolf and his Jewish contemporaries heralded the entry of ‘world Jewry’ as a perceived force in modern politics, and how Wolf himself was preoccupied with Eastern Europe and its Jews at a precarious time. He also analyses how the war affected Jewish political self-perceptions, reviewing the context between assimilationists and Zionists in the broader framework of war, peace, and international diplomacy. His consideration of their conflicting claims says much that is of relevance to the contemporary discussion of Zionism as well as to the problems of ethnic and religious minorities in nation-states.

107855 Mackinnon, Daniel Henry Military Service and Adventures in the Far East, Volume I : Including Sketches of the Campaigns Against the Afghans in 1839, and the Sikhs in 1845-6 . Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012 (Collection - Naval and Military History) ¼½¾” x ¼½¾”. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. This two-volume work, published in 1847 by cavalry officer Daniel Henry Mackinnon (1813-84) describes his military service in India, in the campaigns against the Afghans in 1839 and the Sikhs in 1845-6. In the first edition, reissued here, the author is referred to only as ‘a cavalry officer’, but in the second edition of 1849, Mackinnon, a career soldier and writer, abandons his anonymity. Volume 1 begins with a lively account of the Andaman Islands, before ‘arrival in India’ at Calcutta and a long march past the foothills of the Himalayas to the North-West Frontier province. Mackinnon fought at the decisive battle of Ghuzni in the First Anglo-Afghan War, and provides an eye-witness account of the storming of the city, though his description of the political and diplomatic conflicts which preceded the outbreak of the wars is somewhat simplistic, and inevitably Anglophile.

Berenson, the world-famous art critic, was 82, frail but still intensely curious about the world. Trevor Roper promised to write to him and his letters continued until Berenson’s death in in 1959. Elegantly constructed, beautifully and precisely written, they are shot through with high-octane malice, sharp judgements and blistering comments, and many wonderfully funny episodes. Trevor-Roper was an intellectual heavyweight, but subjects range widely: several brilliant set-pieces on Oxford college elections, books, journalism, publishing, politics (postwar Europe, ex-Nazis and collaborators, the Cold War, Suez, etc), history and history-writing, personal life (including marriage to Earl Haig’s daughter Alexandra after her messy divorce), travel, gossip, and so on. He has a memorable journey on a pilgrims’ bus in Persia, goes behind the Iron Curtain to meet Communist dignitaries and speeds in his glamorous grey Bentley to visit duchesses in the Scottish borders.
