Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine; NOT Priced. Mauve paper over boards with black cloth overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 432 pp 8vo. This book offers a sweeping view of the place of warfare in human culture and a brilliant exposition of the human impulse toward violence. The author probes the meanings, motivations, and methods underlying war in different societies over the course of more than two thousand years, from ritualistic combat of Stone Age people to the warfare of mass destruction in the present age. He shows why honor has always been accorded to the soldierly virtues and how war has maintained its singular hold on the imagination, reaching into "the most secret places of the human heart, places where self dissolves rational purpose, where pride reigns, where emotion is paramount, where instinct is king." A clean very presentable copy., Alfred A. Knopf, Publisher, 1994, 5, London: Hodder and Stoughton, 2002. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First edition, first printing. xi + 340 pages. 46 illustrations. In this exceptional autobiography, written throughout his long battle with cancer, and completed just a few days before he died, Nigel gives the most compelling, entertaining, and intimate portrait of his life. When he left South Africa for England as a young man, his success as an actor was never assured and owed much to his determination which saw him through the rigours of repertory stage management, understudy roles, and cleaning jobs until he won his biggest theatrical break in Joan Littlewood's production of 'Oh, What a Lovely War'. His major triumph in the Royal Shakespeare Company's 'Privates on Parade' led to even greater international success as Sir Humphrey Appleby in television's 'Yes, Minister'. **** NOT EX LIB **** A1D. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall., Hodder and Stoughton, 2002, 4.5<
