Williamson's heroic multi-volume life of the imaginary Phillip Maddison, a Twentieth Century Chronicle that in many ways - particularly in the five volumes relating to the Great War - are a reflection of Williamson's own war experiences which commenced in the ranks of the LRB in France in 1914, proceeded to a commission in the Bedfords and attachment to the MGC. Altogether an excellent complete set of the classic chronicle. See illustrations on our website.
