Set Of Purnell's History Of The First World War 8 Bound Volumes (1969)
 
The Ultimate First World War Reference collection.
 
Published in weekly magazines to make the set.
 
Produced in collaboration with the Imperial War Museum, edited by Barrie Pitt and written by a host of eminent historians, scholars and veterans, the series is equally fortunate in having Liddell-Hart as editor-in-chief. Produced in 'magazine' format, the work as a whole makes full use of its size and space to create a lucid, vivid and valuable account of the conflict. The number, choice and quality of the photographs, illustrations and diagrams are worthy of special mention. 
 
A very hard-to-find set and very heavy 18kg.
 
Bounded Covers
In Fair to Good Condition
