CROZIER, Brigadier-General Frank Percy. Impressions and Recollections. London: T. Werner Laurie. [1930].

8vo. Original blue cloth, lettered in gilt, with the rarely seen dustwrapper (not price-clipped); pp. 330, plates after photographs and facsimiles, sketch maps; wrapper minimally frayed and spotted; offsetting from endpapers to beginning and end, otherwise a little spotted; an exceptional copy in the superior binding, not lettered in yellow.

First edition, in the first issue binding and the dustwrapper. Frank Percy Crozier was a controversial Anglo-Irish soldier who first served in South Africa, Sudan, on the Western Front, in Lithuania as military advisor, and most importantly in Ireland from the latter part of WW1 onwards, where he slowly, and painfully, turned pacifist, disgusted by the British (and his) conduct in Ireland. The front flap of the wrapper proclaims that "He was largely responsible for the downfall of the Coalition Government over the Irish Policy in 1912".
