Etat : New. 2020 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1957). SB. xx + 568pp with 28 maps in colour and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £45 The first of five volumes of the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War dealing with the war against Japan; this book describes the fall of Britain's Far Eastern territories: Hong Kong, Borneo, Malaya, and finally the fortress island of Singapore - perhaps the greatest single British disaster of the entire war. The authors pin the blame for the loss of Britain's Asian empire on the neglect of its defences between the wars, and on the Government's preoccupation with saving Britain itself in 1940. In the authors' opinion, 'the campaign in Malaya was lost beofre it begun', at least partly because of the ineptitude of the authorities on the spot. The book describes Japan's plans for imperial aggrandisement at the expense of vulnerable British and Dutch colonies in the region, and the rapid collapse of the European empires before the lightning Japanese advance. The loss of the British warships 'Prince of Wales' and 'Repulse', complementing the disasters onshore, and the disappearance of so many men - British, Australian and other Commonwealth nations - into the horrors of Japanese captivity, complete the sad story of one of Britain's lowest points in the Second World War. With 27 appendices illustrating the strength and structure of the forces engaged, the book is generously illustrated with 28 maps and sketches and 26 photographs.With our 2020 reprint of all the five volumes of THE WAR AGAINST JAPAN the colour maps and sketches are faithful to the originals and printed in full colour, a 254mm x178mm printing size has been adopted to allow little or no reduction to this exceptional colour cartography. In addition the individual volumes are available in both softback and hardback bindings. Official Campaign History, History of the Second World War. Book.…

Etat : New. 2020 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1958). SB. xvii + 541pp with 35 maps and sketches in colour, and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £453 This, the second of the five books in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War dealing with the war against Japan, examines the high tide of Japan's success, when her all-conquering armies threatened India itself - the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. The book opens with the British scrambling to defend Burma, gateway to India, after Japan's onslaught on Hong Kong, Borneo, Malaya and Singapore. Within weeks of Japan attacking Burma in December 1941, its capital, Rangoon, was lost and Britain was forced to look to India's defences. Despite a punishing monsoon climate and inhospitable jungle terrain, the British grimly held on to north-east India after the loss of Burma, and even made plans to hit back. The book looks at the controversial early campaigns of the Chindits, the guerrilla force conceived by the maverick and eccentric General Orde Wingate, a favourite oif Churchill's, and features two more conventional Generals who fell foul of the Prime Minister - Archibald Wavell and Claude Auchinleck. Supported by 33 appendices, 15 main maps and 20 sketch maps; the book is illustrated by 35 photographs. Official Campaign History, History of the Second World War. Book.…

Etat : New. 2004 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1961). SB. xvx + 559pp with 25 maps and sketches in colour and numerous contemporary photos.Published Price £45 This third volume in the series of five in the 18-volume official British History of the Second World War which recount the war against Japan, has, in the words of its authors ' a brighter tale to tell' than the previous two - which narrated the disastrous losses of Hong Kong, Borneo, Malaya, Singapore and Burma. By late 1943 the tide of war in the Far East was turning, and the Allied High Command in the theatre under Lord Louis Mountbatten, began detailed plans to reverse Japan's conquests. At sea, from bases in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) the Royal Navy mounted raids on Java and Sumatra. In the air, flying from bases in India, the RAF challenged Japan's air supremacy. Above all, on the ground Allied armies stemmed Japan's attacks on Arakan and Assam, and decisively defeated them at the battles of Kohima and Imphal. The conventional Allied armies were supported by the celebrated 'Chindit' special forces trained by the colourful General Orde Wingate to operate behind Japanese lines, though the authors play down their achievement and criticise their campaigns as 'wasteful'. The book also describes parallel military developments in China and the Pacific which affected the campaigns in India and Burma. There are 30 appendices with details of the forces and logistics involved, and the book is illustrated with 15 main maps, 20 sketch maps, and 57 photographs.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. The ultimate, unparalleled family association copy of Major-General S. Woodburn Kirby's definitive, monumental five-volume military history of the war in the Far East. Published sequentially by Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) between 1957 and 1969, this complete first-edition set represents a unique historical archive, meticulously gifted by the primary author directly to his son. Four of the five volumes carry intimate, deeply moving, and strategically profound hand-signed ink inscriptions by Major-General Kirby.The complete, chronologically organized breakdown of this extraordinary archive includes: The complete, chronologically organized breakdown of this extraordinary archive includes:Volume I: The Loss of Singapore (1957 First Impression). Near Fine in a Very Good complete jacket (light chipping to spine ends). Authenticated with a historic, heartbreaking primary dedication by the author to the front free endpaper: "This volume, my dear son, would be dedicated, if it were not an official publication, to your Mother. Had it not been for her, I should not have been called upon to write it. Her courage and fortitude, her long illness inspired me as i wrote it and it was finished just before she passed away S. Woodburn Kirby 15.11.1957"Volume II: India's Most Dangerous Hour (1958 First Impression). Fine in a Near Fine unclipped jacket. Inscribed affectionately: "My dearest son, with best love from the Author" Xmas 1958. S. Woodburn KirbyVolume III: The Decisive Battles (1961 First Impression). Fine in a Very Good unclipped jacket. Inscribed with profound tactical weight: "Hoping that you will find this volume interesting and instructive. It carries many lessons for those who can find time to study it" S. Woodburn Kirby january 1962Volume IV: The Reconquest of Burma (1965 First Impression). Fine in a Very Good jacket (small chipping loss to spine head). Inscribed as he built his son's collection: "A further addition to your library" S. Woodburn Kirby 21/6/65Volume V: The Surrender of Japan (1969 First Impression). Fine in a Near Fine unclipped jacket. Unsigned as called for, due to the author's passing prior to the book's official HMSO release, completing the family collection posthumously.An absolutely spectacular, museum-grade set. The books display an exceptional level of care, sitting tight, square, and strong. The publisher's original heavy green cloth boards remain flat, clean, and sharp-cornered with highly reflective, mirror-like spine gilt. Internally pristine, white, and completely free from any non-author annotations, stamps, or page lean. Every single complex folding strategy map, panoramic battlefield chart, and photographic plate is present, flat, and flawlessly intact as called for across all five volumes. Each volume is at least Near Fine. The dust jackets, are at least Very good and unclipped. Being published over a 12 year period, the spines have a varying degree of tone, there is some minor chipping, very occasional short tear. But this remains a highly attractive group.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume is the result of our teaching in the last few years of a first year graduate course on multivariable feedback systems addressed to control engineers. The prerequisites are modest: an undergraduate course in control (for acquaintance with concepts, terms, and design goals) and a senior-graduate course in linear systems. This volume covers lumped linear time-invariant multi-input multi-output systems with strong emphasis on control problems. The purpose is to provide a rapid introduction to some of the main and simpler results of control theory and to provide access to the current literature. Note that our exposition pays particular attention to the time-domain behavior of the systems under study. Note also that we cover neither optimization nor stochastic systems since these topics are treated in separate courses. As is obvious from its abundant literature, multivariable control is a very rapidly developing field. Consequently, we have no expectation that our exposition will become definitive; however, we hope that our efforts will be found useful. To get an idea of the contents, we suggest reading carefully the table of contents and the introduction of the chapters. Roughly, Chapter 1 is an introduction to feedback issues in a multivariable context (desensitization, large gain, singular values, etc. ). Chapters 2 and 3 cover the mathematical tools for handling transfer functions as polynomial-matrix fractions and for studying systems described by polynomial matrices. Chapter 4 uses these tools to cover the general theory of interconnected systems. 288 pp. Englisch.…
