BOURKE-WHITE, Margaret

They Called It "Purple Heart Valley": A Combat Chronicle of the War in Italy

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1944. First Edition. Octavo. Two publisher's slips requesting readers' responses to the book are laid in. Text and photos by Bourke-White, who spent five months on the Italian front. Short gift inscription ("Merry Christmas 1944"), boards lightly soiled, else very good in a very good jacket, price-clipped, worn at the edges, with a few tiny stains, but otherwise complete, and uncommon thus.
