Seller Description
GIRAUD and the African Scene By G. WARD PRICE An eyewitness story of the part played by a new and powerful personality in that great enterprise of forcing open the gateway to Nazi-occupied Europe through North Africa. It relates as well the long secret preparations for this historic operation made in Algiers by the State Department of the United States. General Henri Giraud, whose career is the main subject of the book, has become a prominent figure in the Allied war effort. The author first met him ten years ago on a French colonial battlefield. There, under his tent where he was fighting the savage tribes of the High Atlas Mountains, the man himself gave Mr. Price the details of the dramatic episodes of his early life-some of the most thrilling true tales of adventure ever re-corded. In excellent condition for age - most wear is to dust cover.
