Hardback. Zustand: NEW. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. First Edition. CORPS COMMANDER Sir Brian Horrocks with Eversley Belfield & Major-General H. Essame. Sidgwick and Jackson, London 1977 First edition ISBN 0283983205 256pp Illustrated Hardback. This copy is in new condition in red cloth boards with bright gilt titling to the spine and XXX Corps badge to the upper board. The unclipped dustwrapper is lightly sunned to the spine but is still in as new condition. Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Gwynne Horrocks, KCB, KBE, DSO, MC (7 September 1895 ? 4 January 1985) was a British Army officer. He is chiefly remembered as the commander of XXX Corps in Operation Market Garden and other operations during the Second World War. He also served in the First World War and the Russian Civil War, was a prisoner of war twice, and competed in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Later he was a television presenter, authored books on military history, and was Black Rod in the House of Lords for 14 years. In 1940 Horrocks commanded a battalion during the Battle of France, the first time he served under Bernard Montgomery, the most prominent British commander of the war. Montgomery later identified Horrocks as one of his most able officers, appointing him to corps commands in both North Africa and Europe. In 1943, Horrocks was seriously wounded and took more than a year to recover before returning to command a corps in Europe. It is likely that this period out of action meant he missed out on promotion; his contemporary corps commanders in North Africa, Leese and Dempsey, went on to command at army level and above. Horrocks' wound caused continuing health problems and led to his early retirement from the army after the war. Since 1945, Horrocks has been regarded by some as one of the most successful British generals of the war, "a man who really led, a general who talked to everyone, down to the simplest private soldier", and the "beau ideal of a corps commander". Dwight D. Eisenhower called him "the outstanding British general under Montgomery". Ref ZZZ 2. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 006832

Hard Cover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Dust jacket complete, unclipped, crease to back flap, small closed tear a few light marks. DJ sunned spine. Now in a clear protective sleeve. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Illustrated with photographs. xvi, 256 pages clean and tight. The story of a great campaign, from D-Day to V-E Day, told from the standpoint of one of Britain's foremost fighting generals. A military history with a difference, for Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Horrocks witnessed the battle from two different levels: from the front line where he was actively involved in the fighting, as at Arnhem; and from the standpoint of high strategy when he was often in contact with Eisenhower, Montgomery, and other commanders. Sir Brian has told far more than his own story. His collaboration with two distinguished military historians, Eversley Belfield and the late Major-General H. Essame, has resulted in a book that deals with a large arena. The role of XXX Corps has been presented in the context of the whole campaign. The result is a gripping narrative of the actions of a key fighting unit, combined with a vivid and authoritative account of how the Allies won final victory in the West. Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Horrocks KCB, KBE, DSO, MC, LL.D is one of Britain's most distinguished living soldiers. He was born in 1895, and served with the Middlesex Regiment during the First World War. During the Second World War, on his return from Dunkirk, Sir Brian took over the 9th Armoured Division in Britain before being summoned by Montgomery to command XIII and X Corps in the Middle East. He took part in almost all the important battles in the campaign against Rommel, including Alam Haifa, Alamein, and Mareth. At Bizerta he was very seriously wounded and his death was thought inevitable, but he was flown home to the Cambridge Hospital in Aldershot and fourteen months later he was fully recovered. In 1944, just after D-Day, he took over command of XXX Corps. He led the Corps from Normandy to Bremerhaven, being involved in many of the major actions of this great campaign, including Arnhem.
