8vo. Original red cloth, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, front cover lettered and ruled in black, top edge gilt; pp. x, 734, 8 (publisher's catalogue), numerous mostly folding maps in two or more colours, plates after photographs and drawings (including several large panoramas); cloth a little darkened and marked, browning to endpapers as usual, pp. 239/40 with tiny paper flaw, affecting four letters, pp. 353/4 with repaired marginal tear, light spotting to and offsetting from maps; otherwise a very good copy of a rare and important work.

First edition. A joint effort of several leading military figures, including Lord Roberts of Kandahar, at creating a coherent narrative of the scope of the Second Afghan War. The military strategist and soldier MacGregor was the ideal leader of this enterprise. Born in India in 1840 and commissioned in the Indian army in October 1856, he served during the Indian Mutiny. Many campaigns followed and in 1878 Macgregor 'was placed on special duty in charge of the Khyber line of communications at the beginning of the Second Anglo-Afghan War …, accompanying General Maude's expedition against the Zakha Khel Afridis in the Bazar valley as chief of staff. Later he was appointed chief of staff to Sir Samuel Browne, with whom he served during the advance from Jalalabad to Gandamak. After the conclusion of the treaty he made arrangements for the withdrawal of the Peshawar valley field force. He was created a CIE in January 1878 and was made a CB for the Afghan campaign' (ODNB). After the war he took command of the intelligence department of India, and wrote the privately printed book The Defence of India: a Strategical Study.

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

Really nice shoes
Size: 9, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.
