Inscribed on the first blank page, 'a mon sympathetique ami, Robert C. Richardson. Geo M. Russell. Fort Myer, Virginia.' Robert Richardson was commander of the US Army, Pacific during WWII, also the Military Governor of Hawaii. He was a veteran of the war in the Philippines as well as WWI. In addition, he was a serious scholar, with a vast library of books in English, French and German. This copy was a gift to Richardson by George Moor Russell, who was, among other things, an instructor at the USMA at West Point. I have several books from Gen. Richardson's collection - please inquire. Please email with questions or to request photos.
