(no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, some age-toning and light soiling to edges of text block, very slight bumping to a couple of corners]. (B&W photographs) A valiant attempt by the author to make some sense of the southeastern European region, under what he acknowledges were "the disturbed conditions which prevailed . during the summer and autumn of 1919." Countries which are covered (from the Acknowledgment section, slightly different than the list on the front cover, which includes some cities): Italy, Dalmatia, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, Turkey, Rumania, Hungary and Serbia. The author was a journalist and a war correspondent prior to the U.S. entry into World War I in April 1917, at which time he was commissioned as a Captain in military intelligence, serving until he was injured in September 1918. It was after leaving the U.S. Armed Services, following a period of convalescence, that he undertook the journey chronicled in this book; the long list of government officials, ministers, even royalty that he cites in his Acknowledgment testify to how well-connected he was -- or maybe, of just how eager some of these nations, in the midst of their post-war suffering, were to make nice with America. During his later career Powell was a successful author of adventure and travel books.

Description de la librairie

Welcome to ReadInk (pronounced like "Dead Ink"), now in its 27th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. Our watchwords here are: * Availability. Every book listed for sale is in my possession and available for purchase; every image posted is a picture of the actual book on offer. * Service. Although I occasionally adopt the so-called "royal We," in fact ReadInk is just Me -- I handle everything from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing automated here -- just prompt, personal attention to every order. * Accurate Description. I use standard book-grading terminology -- Good, Very Good, Fine (with various +/- gradations as appropriate) -- and try to avoid both excessive jargon and obsessive amounts of detail. "Fine" is my highest grade, and a book has to be darn near perfect to earn it; even the smallest flaw or blemish will knock the grade down to "Near Fine.? I strive to present a faithful impression of a book?s condition and appearance; significant flaws such as remainder marks, previous owner's names, tears in the dust jacket, etc. are always noted, or if too numerous are reasonably summarized. * Information. Whenever practical, I try to include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this. On the occasions I let this slide, it's generally because the book is a common one, or because the title itself is sufficiently descriptive. * Care for the Book. I package all books with great care, to ensure they will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach their new owners in the same condition as advertised. My specific packaging techniques vary according to the needs of the book itself, but either a sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved. (No bubble envelopes, ever, unless the contents are thoroughly protected within.) That?s all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. My inventory appears here on AbeBooks and on my own website ? www.readinkbooks.com. Come on in! Howard Prouty, prop.
