Sobre este artículo
New York: Frederick A. Praeger, [1965]. xvi, 498pp. Original publisher's red cloth, lettered in gilt to spine. Without dustwrapper. A trifle rubbed, spine sunned. Internally clean and crisp. Anthony Eden's copy, with occasional pencil notes in his distinctive hand. A revised edition of war correspondent and historian Bernard B. Fall's (1926-1967) authoritative account of the initial stages of the Vietnam War. On 21st February, 1967, Fall stepped on a landmine whilst accompanying a troop of Marines on a mission near Hue, South Vietnam. He was killed instantly. American military involvement in the country had not reached its halfway point. Sir Anthony Eden (1897-1977), British foreign secretary (1935-38, 1940-45, and 1951-55) and Prime Minister (1955-1957). Following active service in the First World War, Eden read Oriental languages at Oxford. He was elected to the House of Commons in 1923. In 1935 he was appointed foreign secretary, a position he resigned in 1938 to protest Prime Minister Neville Chamberlainâs appeasement of Nazi Germany. When Churchill became Prime Minister in 1940, he was named secretary of state for war, and later during the Second World War once more served as foreign secretary. Eden succeeded Churchill as Prime Minister in 1955. In 1956, his failure to respond effectively during the Suez Crisis, and the subsequent loss of party and public support, would ultimately lead to his resignation from office in 1957. He was knighted in 1954 and created earl of Avon in 1961. . Revised edition. 8vo.
