Please note that due to the colour fading on two of the spines, there is an obvious difference in colour between the three volumes when standing on the shelf. These 3 volumes were formerly the property of Herbert Charles Walby, whose bookplate appears in each volume. Walby has also noted (in blue ink) on the front free end-paper of Vol. I : "These three volumes are the gift of Luciano Magrini's son whom I met recently at the O.E.E.C. when he came to discuss a potential appointment - Sandro Magrini." Luciano Magrini worked as Albertini's research assistant and completed the work upon Albertini's death. As Magrini himself noted in the Preface to this edition: "The writer [Luciano Magrini] of these lines had the privilege of working with Senator Albertini on the investigation of documents and sources and of being, by Senator Albertini's last wishes, entrusted with the finishing of the uncompleted sections of the work." This is an interesting association set of the scarce First Edition of this monumental work. As noted above, the covers of the first two volumes are rubbed and the colour has faded slightly; the contents of each volume are clean and tight. Albertini, an Italian Senator and editor of Corriere della Sera, commenced this great work to take advantage of the opening of the Austrian archives in the 1930s, and the undertaking occupied the last five years of his life. Immediately recognized as a work of consummate scholarship, it was subsequently translated into English and appeared first in this Oxford University Press edition. Unsurpassed to this day and the cornerstone of any Great War library. Please note that these are heavy volumes, with postage charged at cost. — Stock No. 11960 — £550.00

Allen, Martin — Himmler's Secret War : The Covert Peace Negotiations of Heinrich Himmler — London: Robson Books, 2005 — 6¼” x 9½”. [xx] + 300pp, illustrations. Black cloth gilt in d/j, As New. Ever since the end of the Second World War, the name of Heinrich Himmler - the pedantic fanatic who was responsible more than any other man for the murder of millions in the name of racial purity - has been synonymous with all that was evil in Nazi Germany. Yet there was far more to Himmler's character than being Germany's Reichfuhrer-SS. Martin Allen's access to previously reticent individuals including several top Nazis and Himmler's daughter, in conjunction with newly discovered documents in British and American archives, has revealed a remarkable story with numerous explosive revelations. Martin Allen has not only informed the life of Himmler with startling new facts and perspectives, he presents the entire Nazi command in a totally new light, in which Hitler was often manipulated and sometimes sidelined. In his manoeruvring to lead post-war Germany, Himmler believed that through an intermediary he was in direct contact with Winston Churchill, and is linked to the bomb that nearly killed Hitler in 1944, a decision to largely halt the mass exxtermination of Jews from Autumn 1944, and the surrender of all German forces in northern Italy and other events which reduced the length of the war. Most dramatic of all is previously unseen evidence that sheds new light on the circumstances of Himmler's death. — Stock No. 6178 — £24.00

Anderson, Ross — The Battle of Tanga 1914 — Stroud: Tempus Publishing Ltd, 2002 — 6½" x 9¾". 158pp, maps, illustrations. Large format Softback, As New. On 2 November 1914, obscured by the greater events in Europe, a small and rather motley convoy of one British light cruiser, an armed auxiliary and twelve troopships had crossed the Indian Ocean largely unnoticed. Sailing from India, its mission was to seize the port of Tanga and then to conquer Germany’s vast and undeveloped East African colony. Unbeknownst to the mixed force of British and Indian troops, their virtually undefended objective would rapidly be reinforced by the German Schutztruppe under its energetic and talented commander, Lieutenant Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. What was expected to be an easy walkover would turn into a bloody and dispiriting defeat. In many ways Tanga was a sharp and destructive introduction of Africa to modern warfare. Although greatly overshadowed by the epic battles being waged in Europe, Tanga was important as it highlighted the weakness in British strategic and operational planning that was to carry on through the failures at the Dardanelles and Mesopotamia. It also underlined the lack of joint planning between the British Army and Royal Navy as well as significant shortfalls in the Indian Army’s readiness for modern war. On the German side, although the battle was ultimately a tactical success, it also exposed a number of weaknesses in their military system such as inadequate weapons, munitions and training. More importantly, it precipitated the bitter feud between Lettow and the governor, Schnee, that would continue to the war’s end. Few on either side would have guessed that this expedition would start a campaign which would last until after the Armistice had been concluded in November 1918 and would range across much of East Africa. For the first time, detailed archival research reveals the full story behind the battle and the astounding truce concluded by the Royal Navy and the German colonial authorities. Drawing on original sources from both sides, the book explains how two great empires came to fight over such a strategically limited objective and undeveloped port. It examines the important and surprisingly under-appreciated tensions between the naval and military goals as well as the opposing military systems including the dramatically different qualities of their respective commanders. Describing the fighting in some detail, it draws out a number of significant conclusions about each side’s performance. — Stock No. 4306 — £24.00

From the Introduction: "This book aims at giving to the average lay reader a succinct account of the parts played by the various leaders on all fronts during the Great War. Strict impartiality and accuracy in detail were the writer's objectives during the course of his meticulous sifting of the various authorities on which the work is based..the 'motif' has been a study of the reaction of the character and temperament of the various generals upon the morale of their troops and upon the trend of the mighty issues whose destiny they guide. It is the writer's firm conviction that the personality of a commander is as important a factor inmodern warfare as it was in the days generals with gleaming swords charged on high-mettled steeds at the head of their troops against the serried ransk of the enemy.."  From the Translator's Preface: "To British readers the visualisation in this book of the war achievements of the Allied and enemy generals by a German, who aims at a strictly impartial survey of the wide field he covers, but whose perspective, for all that, is occasionally blurred by the mirage of patriotic partialties, will be illuminative. While making allowance for involuntary 'suppressio veri', overstatement and rather fulsome hero-worship, we profit by 'seeing oursells as ithers see us'.

Germany had swept forward in one tremendous drive. Austria-Hungary was her assistant. She had torn to pieces her enemies in thee Balkans and collected the rest to her as her allies. She had swept into Turkey and taken control, and so across Asia Minor and down into Mesopotamia and Bagdad. With her assistance the Turks had hurled back the British and inflicted on them the severe defeats of Gallipoli and Kut-al-Amarah. On the Western front the Allies battered in vain with useless and bloody frontal attacks. On the Eastern front the Russians had shown their weakness, and the Caucasus armies were in full retreat. From the Baltic, across Central Europe through the Balkans and Turkey to Jerusalem and Bagdad and the Caucasus, Germany was supreme. The overpowering hand of the Black Empire held the Old World half-strangled in its terrific grip. To many acute neutral observers the Allies appeared to be defeated. In captivity I saw the dissolution of the old Ottoman Empire. I returned to freedom to share the stupendous victory of the Allies. I found everywhere thrust and energy and enthusiasm and ideals. The Near East, torn into strips, waited placidly to have its future decided. A great opportunity was given to the Allies, but they showed themselves incapable and unworthy of it. The Ottoman Empire, crushed and defeated, begging only for peace and security, lay at their feet. By folly and procrastination and by national jealousies the Allies allowed the fruits of success to rot. The Greeks were sent crusading into Anatolia and were defeated and Greece was dealt a disastrous blow. Out of the debris of the Ottoman Empire, through a thousand difficulties burst a Turkish nation. As wild and destructive as any volcano newly in eruption, it rent its way out into the open. It suffered the agonies of a fierce war of self-preservation. As the Allies grew disunited and weak, it grew strong and arrogant, until there came the day when with a mailed fist it threatened the peace of the World and dictated its own terms to the impotent Powers. In the black months of 1916 I came as a prisoner to Constantinople. I returned to it on the crest of the wave of victory and hope. I crept away with the Allied Forces of Occupation in the hour of defeat and dishonour, in the face of a triumphant Turkish Nation, and behind that nation the threat of a new Asia roused and revengeful." — Stock No. 2418 — £120.00

From Cyril Falls' "War Books": "This book is, from the military point of view, chiefly interesting as an explanation of the prejudice and distrust which soldiers cannot avoid when they have to do with war correspondents of a certain type. It also illustrates to what follies vanity and cocksureness may lead a man in the position wherein Mr Ashmead-Bartlett found himself, even when that man is strikingly able, a clear writer, and an experienced war correspondent." Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett was the eldest son of Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett (1849-1902). Born in 1881, he was educated at Marlborough College. In 1897, at the age of 17, he accompanied his father to Turkey as the guest of the Sultan and followed the Turkish army in its campaign against the Greeks. At one point the party was arrested by the Greeks as spies. Ashmead-Bartlett had begun studying to become a barrister when he left with his regiment for the South African War in February 1900. At the end of May he was taken ill, sent home and spent 7 months in hospital. By early in 1901 he was in Marseilles and Monte Carlo, supposedly for recuperation (A/3), and in May 1901 he returned to London to stay with his uncle and aunt, the Burdett-Coutts, and continued his legal studies. It was not until 1904 that he began his career as a war correspondent by covering the siege of the Russian port of Port Arthur by the Japanese, entering the city with the victors. His account, Port Arthur: the siege and capitulation (London 1906) was well received. For the next few years he mixed a full social life in London and the country and in Paris (as described in his diaries) with periods as a war correspondent and writer and a developing political career. As Reuters' special correspondent he accompanied the French army in Morocco (1907-08), the Spanish in Morocco (1909) and the Italians in Tripoli (1911). At home he fought the safe Labour seat of Normanton in Yorkshire for the Conservatives in January 1910 and the Liberal seat of Poplar in December 1910. He was then employed by the Daily Telegraph to be its correspondent in the Balkans and he covered the two Balkan wars of 1912-1913. As correspondent for the Fleet Street papers, Ashmead-Bartlett, who worked for the The Daily Telegraph, covered the 25 April 1915 landing at Anzac Cove. He had gone ashore at Anzac Cove at 9.30 pm on the evening of the landing and, wearing an non-regulation green hat, was promptly arrested as a spy but was released when the boatswain who had brought him ashore testified for him. Ashmead-Bartlett was responsible for the first eyewitness accounts of the battle. His report of the landing was published in Australian newspapers on 8 May, before the reports of the Australian correspondent, C.E.W. Bean. His colourful prose, unrestrained by the pursuit of accuracy which hampered Bean's dispatches, was thick with praise for the Anzacs and went down well with the Australian audience: "There has been no finer feat in this war than this sudden landing in the dark and storming the heights, and, above all, holding on while the reinforcements were landing. These raw colonial troops, in these desperate hours, proved worthy to fight side by side with the heroes of Mons, the Aisne, Ypres and Neuve Chapelle." On 27 May 1915, Ashmead-Bartlett was aboard HMS Majestic, a British battleship anchored off W Beach at Cape Helles, when it was torpedoed by the German U-boat U-21. Two days earlier he had seen HMS Triumph go down off Anzac, the first victim of the U-21, and he was well aware that the Majestic would likely suffer the same fate. On the night of 26 May he helped drink the last of the ship's champagne. He had his mattress brought up on deck so that he would not be trapped in his cabin. Ashmead-Bartlett survived the sinking but lost all his kit. He sailed for Malta to acquire a new wardrobe. Ashmead-Bartlett the photographer: In May 1915, while aboard the transport SS Nile, he captured this image of a boatload of Lancashire Fusiliers bound for Cape Helles. As the battle progressed, Ashmead-Bartlett's reports became highly critical which left him in disfavour with the British commander-in-chief, General Sir Ian Hamilton. Instead of returning to the Dardanelles from Malta, he went on to London, arriving on 6 June, to report in person on the conduct of the campaign. During his time in London, he met with most of the senior political figures including Andrew Bonar Law (the Colonial Secretary), Winston Churchill (by that time displaced as First Lord of the Admiralty), Arthur Balfour (Churchill's replacement at the Admiralty) and the Prime Minister, Herbert Asquith. He was also questioned by the Secretary of State for War, Horatio Kitchener. When he returned to Gallipoli, Ashmead-Bartlett established himself on the island of Imbros which was also the site of Hamilton's headquarters. Here he lived in relative safety and comfort, even having brought his own cook from Paris. Returning to the pensinsula, he witnessed the new landing at Suvla during the August Offensive: "Confusion reigned supreme. No-one seemed to know where the headquarters of the different brigades and divisions were to be found. The troops were hunting for water, the staffs were hunting for their troops, and the Turkish snipers were hunting for their prey." Ashmead-Bartlett had obtained a movie camera while in London with which he captured the only film footage of the battle. On 21 August he was watching from Chocolate Hill when the British IX Corps launched the final attack of the campaign, the Battle of Scimitar Hill. While filming, he was buried when an artillery shell landed nearby but was quickly dug free. When Australian journalist Keith Murdoch arrived at Gallipoli in September, Ashmead-Bartlett found a receptive audience for his commentary and analysis of the campaign. Murdoch travelled to London carrying a letter from Ashmead-Bartlett — it is disputed whether Murdoch knew the contents — which damned the campaign, describing the final offensive as "the most ghastly and costly fiasco in our history since the battle of Bannockburn." The letter, intended for Asquith, was intercepted in Marseilles and on 28 September, Ashmead-Bartlett was told to leave Gallipoli. On his return to London, Ashmead-Bartlett gave an "interview" to The Sunday Times (it was on opinion piece presented as an interview to circumvent censorship rules). Published on 17 October, it was the first detailed account of the campaign and was widely circulated, published in The Times and Daily Mail as well as in Australian papers. Short of money, Ashmead-Bartlett undertook a lecture tour of England and Australia. He reported on the fighting on the Western Front in France. Following the war he fought in Hungary against the Bolsheviks. He spent two years as a Conservative MP. He died in Lisbon in 1931. CONTENTS: Foreword; I. The Assembly of the Armada; II.
