Hamish Hamilton, 1989. Cloth bound hardcover with dust jacket of Cairo in the War: 1939-1945 by Artemis Cooper. Printed in the U.K. Includes a section of black and white plates.
For troops in the desert, Cairo meant fleshpots or brass hats. For well-connected officers, it meant polo at the Gezira Club, drinks at Shepheard's and opulent parties where one might meet Randolph Churchill, Freya Stark, Peter Fleming or Cecil Beaton.
Acceptable condition. Dust jacket significantly sun faded. Spotting to the back side of the dust jacket along the edges. Spotting to the top of the page block. Solid reading copy with clean pages & shelf wear.
