The Cloud Above the Green
Hutchinson & Co, London, 1952
First Edition, Cloth, Fine -, Very Good +
CWB,
320pp - 1st ed. The Cold War makes its entry into the minds of many in post-war England, but apparently not in the country villages and on their cricket greens where people get on with their rural idyll. Sir Philip Gibbs (1877-1962) was born in London. His first book, Founders of the Empire, appeared in 1899. In 1915 Gibbs was one of the five journalists selected by the government to become official war correspondents with the British Army. As well as writing articles about the war for the Daily Chronicle and the Daily Telegraph, Gibbs wrote several books on the conflict: The Soul of the War (1915), The Battle of the Somme (1917), and From Bapaume to Passchendaele (1918). Cover is black cloth with gilt titles to spine. Book and DJ ( now in protective sleeve) are immaculate.
