Description

PERSHING : GENERAL OF THE ARMIES (Easton Press, Genuine Leather, New / Sealed) by Donald Smythe The product of nearly 25 years of research, Pershing: General of the Armies remains one of the most authoritative biographies of the man known as "Black Jack." Newly appointed head of the American Expeditionary Forces, Pershing sailed for Europe in May 1917. Once in France, he set about the task of building an army. By October the Americans were at the front and over the next year became involved in increasingly significant battles, all vividly recounted here: Cantigny, Chateau-Thierry, Belleau Wood, Soissons, St. Mihiel, and the 47-day slugfest in the Meuse-Argonne. Although the impact of the American forces on the outcome of the war has been much debated, there is no question that the troops acquitted themselves well under Pershing's command. Pershing's postwar life included an unsuccessful run for president, a stint as Chief of Staff, and a secret romance with a French woman 34 years younger than he; nonetheless, his influence as a leader extended into World War II.

    What an amazing transaction! My brand new, leather bound Easton Press book still in shrink wrap arrived in outstanding condition!! It was wrapped in bubble wrap and surrounded by tissue paper. The shipping speed was super fast as the seller sent it by Priority Mail. Fantastic! Item was totally as described as on website. I communicated with seller and requested extra packaging inside box due to very cold weather conditions in MI. I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and this seller!!! Thanks!!

    The seller WGMartin Book Gallery offered me a wonderful copy of the Easton Press Idylls of the King by Alfred Lord Tennyson, a book I had been hoping to add to my library for quite more than a fortnight, for a fair amount that caught my attention, and they then proceeded to follow through with ensuring the transaction went smoothly by packaging the book properly for transit across the country, shipped it out expediently and provided it to me in the condition it was listed in and as described! A+
