SYNOPSIS, BLURB...: A wonderful title being the history of the formation and operation of the IMPERIAL BRITISH EAST AFRICA COMPANY until . This volume was in the library of Lord Rosebury whilst he was Prime Minister of Great Britain. Rosebery was a pivotal figure in the formation of the IBEA Co and a firm supporter. Indeed, without his input it is doubtful the company would have become manifest upon the ground in East Africa. A good copy of the first edition of a very scarce title of only two editions (also ). An ambitious and short lived project, the IBEA Co kick started European government, trade and settlement in Kenya. The IBEA Co was wound up in and the administration assumed by Imperial government. A good copy of the first edition of a very scarce title of only two editions (also ). Unique in having been within the library of so pivotal and important a personage as Lord Rosebery. It was later within another library, the labels and marks of which have been sadly (and badly) removed leaving the ghost of the impression of a hand stamp and m/s entries inside the front fly.

Going to the Wars studies the British Civil War as a military experience. It is not a traditional campaign history, a political history of the war, or an analysis of weapons, organization, supply or tactics. Rather Charles Carlton explains how men prepared for combat, how they fought battles and endured sieges. Others also endured the horrors of war and the book pays special attention to those often excluded from a military panorama: women, children and prisoners of war. Combining extensive research in primary sourses with the work of the new military historians such as John Keegan and Richard Holmes, Carlton provides a fresh look at the event once described by G.M. Trevelyan as the most important happening in British history.

1997. Hard  cover with dust cover, 691 pages. Very good condition. Over 1kg. "[An] awesomely scholarly study.... The importance of this book is not only in its intrinsic interest, or its usefulness as a superb resource, but its demonstration that [Britain's] story cannot be told without a thorough knowledge of what happened at sea."¿Alan Judd,  Sunday Times  [London] Throughout the chronicle of Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of kings, the security of trade, and the integrity of the realm. Without its navy, Britain would have been a weakling among the nations of Europe, could never have built or maintained the empire, and in all likelihood would have been overrun by the armies of Napoleon and Hitler. Now, for the first time in nearly a century, a prominent naval historian has undertaken a comprehensive account of the history and traditions of this most essential institution. N. A. M. Rodger has produced a superb work, combining scholarship with narrative, that demonstrates how the political and social history of Britain has been inextricably intertwined with the strength-or weakness-of her seapower. From the early military campaigns against the Vikings to the defeat of the great Spanish Armada in the reign of Elizabeth I, this volume touches on some of the most colorful characters in British history. It also provides fascinating details on naval construction, logistics, health, diet, and weaponry. "A splendid book. It combines impressively detailed research with breadth of perception....[Rodger] has prepared an admirable historical record that will be read and reread in the years ahead."¿ Times  [London] 24 pages of illustrations
