Complete 1st Edition set of 12 vols. in orig. maroon cloth gilt. Falls awarded two stars in "War Books," noting: "Criticism is permitted & is often strong, especially, let it be hinted, where 'Imperial' commanders & troops are concerned. This gives a certain pungency to the narratives, which is accentuated by the vivid style of the narrators... a serious & painstaking military record... Mr Bean has the valuable gift of bringing clarity to the most complicated fighting." Fine illustrations & many maps. Orig. maroon cloth, gilt, VG but for some abrasion to sp. of Vol. I. See illustration on our website.
