Dust has a tear at bottom edge next to spine of about 1/2 inch by 2 inches. Now in mylar cover for protection. Small coffee ? stain on front endpaper. To condense the history of Irishmen at arms into a single readable volume is no mean feat, and hefty one at that... The work's greatest strength revolves around the British Army, and the myriad campaigns fought by its regiments from the time of King William to post Korea, and at its worst stands as a confused mashing of names, dates, and places, without coherency.Taking center stage, obviously, are the Irish regiments themselves..... it is a lovely single volume history of Irish military service over the past millennium... Bredin's chronicle is amazing in its scope and exciting in its history." From a review. Fully indexed.; Photographs, maps, illustrations; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 566 pages. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket .
