A History of Warfare. Deluxe limited edition, number 247 of 265 copies signed by the author on the title page and handsomely bound by Zaehnsdorf from the first printing sheets of the first US edition (1968)."Lord Montgomery's stimulating book must surely take its place as a classic commentary on the history of warfare... It is the fruit of a lifetime spent in the study and practice of war and it bears the authority of one who will without doubt be numbered among the great commanders. Its greatest merit springs from the author's understanding of the human factor in war. That it is permeated with his particular and well-remembered idiosyncrasies, the freshness and vigour of his approach to any subject will only enhance its undoubted value as a deeply interesting, often inspiring and intensely instructive book" (Howarth, p. 166).
