This wartime edition of James Ramsey Ullman’s “White Tower” offers a gripping firsthand account of the siege of Badajoz during the Peninsular War. Published just months after the end of World War II, the novel resonated with readers who had witnessed the horrors of modern warfare. Ullman, a veteran of the Great War, drew upon his own experiences to vividly depict the brutality of the 1812 siege, one of the bloodiest battles of the Napoleonic Wars. This copy, though bearing the marks of age, preserves the raw power of Ullman’s prose, transporting readers to the battlefields of Spain and the crumbling walls of the white-washed fortress. A haunting exploration of courage, sacrifice, and the human cost of conflict, “White Tower” remains a poignant anti-war novel and a testament to the enduring impact of the Peninsular War on the literary imagination.
