Peter Whiteley. Face to Face: The Story of a Soldier’s Year in Palestine. October, 1945 - November, 1946.
Typescript, signed by author on title-page. Penciled address: Kalk Bay, Cape Town. pp. 220 (recto only). Original limp boards, light wear. Sm. folio.
(England): 1947.
The memoirs of a British military officer assigned to Palestine. Colorful anecdotes of his encounters, with much detail in regard to the political outrages and tensions between local Arabs and Jews. Prepared for publication - including editor’s penciled comments in margins - yet seemingly unpublished.
