Looks a nice one that Alex, and a great price. I like my history, but tend to go for more modern history. However, there is no doubt that was a fascinating era, and amazing race of people at the time.
Four to add myself tomorrow including one that is 68 years old.

Very nice find, Alex. I must admit I don't look in that kind of book. I might have to change that.
I'm intrigued about the other find.
