About this copy
This is the 1974 Pan/Ballantine UK paperback edition, part of The Pan/Ballantine Illustrated History of World War II series. The underlying text was first published in the United States in 1969; this particular printing is the Great Britain edition dated 1974, as stated on the copyright page. It is a heavily illustrated account of British Commando operations in WWII, drawing on photographs from the Imperial War Museum and other archives.
Standard mass-market paperback binding, no dust jacket (paperbacks in this series were issued without one).
Condition
- Book
- Good – a well-read paperback showing genuine age and use. There is foxing/staining to the top edge and corners of the front cover, general wear to the spine and edges, and some small marks on the early interior pages. Text block appears complete and intact.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
