Perrett, Bryan. Foreword by Major-General J.M. Palmer. THE HAWKS: A SHORT HISTORY OF THE 14th/20th KING'S HUSSARS.
Picton, Chippenham, 1984, first edition.
151 pp, 8vo (8 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photographs, reproductions, uniform studies. "Throughout their long history, which dates from 1715, the Hawks have prided themselves on being good at their job, placing such emphasis on high i ndividual standard of service that the Regiment awards its own medal in appropriate circumstances. Typically, the three battles of which it is proudest, Ramnuggur (1848), Ramadi (1917) and Medicina (1945) were all hard fights won against trem e n d o u s odds. The Regiment was formed from an amalgamation of the 14th and 20th Hussars, whose combined history spans every one of the world's major continents and includes such campaigns as the Peninsula, the Indian Mutiny, the Sudan, the Sou th A fr ic an W ar, the Western Front, Mesopotamia and Italy, to name but a few. Its first gallantry award was the rare commemorative medal struck for the victory of Preston in 1715, and it is the proud possessor of two Victoria Crosses, both won fo r t he res cue of comrades in the most desperate circumstances. Since World War II the Regiment has served in Libya, Cyprus, the Far East, Ulster and Gemany. It is presently equipped with Chieftain tanks and recently its efficiency led to it s be ing cho sen to c arry out troop gunner trials with the devastatingly accurate Improved Fire Control System. Bryan Perrett's immensely readable text rightly makes full recognition of the fact that a regiment's reputation is the sum total of it s mem bers ' in divi dual effor t..." Faint cigarette odor, very light browning to edges of textblock. Dust jacket has very minor edge wear/wrinkling, light browning along top edge. VG/VG

Rees, David, consultant editor. (Major F.A. Godfrey, Brigadier-General Edwin H. Simmons, Bryan Perrett, Ian Beckett, P.J. Banyard, Anthony Robinson, David Robinson, David Rees.) THE KOREAN WAR: HISTORY AND TACTICS.
Bedford, (London, 1984).
128 pp, 4to, hard cover in dust jacket. Over 200 illustrations, 75 in color. "...a full and detailed study of this war. It reveals how and why the confrontation in the Korean Peninsula was created and details the events of the war. The reader is taken behind the scenes, into the debates and personality clashes that led U.S. President Harry Truman to dismiss General Douglas MacArthur. Nor does it neglect 'the other side of the hill', for it shows why the Chinese decided to intervene a n d a s sesses the methods that gave their relatively ill-equipped infantry such a devastating impact...coverage is based upon an analysis of the fighting, examining the way that the conflict developed from a fluid war of movement to a static tr e nc h wa r fa re in which attrition and small-scale patrolling became the dominant features..." Dust jacket has minor edge wrinkling, minor rubbing, ghost sticker mark on front panel. NF/VG
