Erstausgabe
Trade Paperback. 1st Edition. Very Good condition. Illustrated with Black and White Photographs. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 248 pages. As a young soldier on the battlefields of Gallipoli, Sydney Loch witnessed the horrors of war first-hand. On his return to Australia, he wrote an account of all he saw, describing his work as a "novel" to evade censorship. As the war ground on abroad and battles raged at home over conscription, Sydney's book, "The Straits Impregnable", garnered widespread literary acclaim. But when the publisher revealed that it was a work of non-fiction, Australian military censors swiftly ordered it withdrawn from sale, and the book vanished. The de Vries have unearthed the book for a new generation of readers and have included a biography of Sydney Loch. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels.
