| It's time to make some room so I'm liquidating a bunch of vintage
war-related hardcovers and softcovers. These items cover the whole
range of military activity from ancient warfare to modern times. Many
of these books are over 50 years old! ALL of these books are complete
and readable. Let's call them "reader's copies" so we don't fight over
condition (although many are in much better condition than that). This
is not an auction. WIll sell one, a bunch or ALL! First BEST OFFER
takes them. And now for the books, divided into Hardcover and
Paperback sections.
The follwing books are all Hardcovers WITH dust jackets. Any
exceptions are clearly marked.
