Happy Odyssey: The Memoirs Of Lt.-Gen. Sir Adrian Carton De Wiart
Edition: 3rd pr.,
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: Worn/faded, no tears — the dust jacket shows general yellowing and age toning consistent with a mid-20th century publication, with some light rubbing to edges and corners; price clipped. Page Condition: Yellowed with some foxing on prelims and book block. Markings: No markings visible. Binding condition: Appears intact and solid.
A remarkable military memoir, Happy Odyssey chronicles the extraordinary life of Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, one of the most decorated and indestructible soldiers in British history. Wounded no fewer than eleven times across multiple conflicts — from the Boer War and World War One to World War Two — Carton de Wiart presents his own astonishing story with characteristic modesty, dry wit, and an unshakeable sense of adventure. The narrative carries a foreword by Winston S. Churchill, who describes its author as a model of chivalry and honour whose deeds and thoughts will command the interest of all men and women with patriotic spirit. Written in a brisk and engaging tone that mirrors its subject's fearless temperament, this memoir stands as a testament to an almost impossibly eventful life lived entirely in service to duty.
