Slight discoloration inside boards, ink notation inside front flyleaf. Numerous B/W illustrations and maps scattered through the book. Fold out of unit personnel at rear of book. Russell Gordon Carter was an American author. Born in 1892 in New Jersey. He died in 1957. His ambition was always to become a writer. After a stint as a reporter and magazine editor and serving in the army in the First World War, he began to work as a freelance writer and novelist. He soon became a prolific author, with over 30 titles to his name as well as numerous short stories. His books, influenced by his experiences in the war, had a military theme. He also seems to have been fond of animals as they appear in a number of his books. Both these themes come together in his one horse story, which was based upon his relationship with his sorrel horse Shaggy during the war. The website which his daughter had set up to commemorate him is no more. More

Engineer Intelligence is a historical coverage of intelligence activities of the Engineers in the Theater during World War II. It has been divided chronologically rather than by campaigns, because the intelligence work did not begin and end in definite phases concurrently with the actual combat which it was supporting. While one campaign was being fought in a particular place, map production and compilation of Engineer intelligence reports were be prepared for another combat action which might not be scheduled for months to combat, and would would be located hundreds of miles from the preset scene of action. The Engineer intelligence mission in the Theater was accomplished, in general, through the execution of two functions: mapping, and research and reports. This volume treats these two functions separately within the time period devoted to each chapter. More
