Library markings on spines & end sheets, perforated stamp on title page.

The History of the Great War Military Operations volumes were originally intended as a technical history for military staff, using papers not available to the general public. The narrative is arranged in chronological order, as far as possible. The intention was to learn lessons, both tactical and logistic, from the war and also to provide an authoritative historical account. In the 1990s the Imperial War Museum reprinted these books, but with black and white maps. These have the original color maps.
