Wheeler, William R., THE ROAD TO VICTORY, Newport News, VA: Yale University Press, 1946. 2vols. complete, both 1^st eds., dark blue cloth hardcovers w/gilt titling to spine, 8vo (9.5 x 6.5”), Fine / Very Good, V.1 146pp. followed by 211 rarely seen plates; V.2 xii, 169 pp. followed by 168 plates also bearing many rarely seen. Thus both vols. 316 pp. and 380 plates total. Books themselves are fine with only light soiling around the peripheries of vol.2’s front end-papers.  Dust jackets are mildly chipped at head and tail of spine on both volumes as well as moderately sun-tanned on the exposed spines, V.2 dust jacket has light, but more significant soiling, than V.1. 

These two volumes contain a narrative and pictorial account of Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation during World War II.   The history is illustrated by nearly 400 photographs, six paintings and two maps. The text and illustrations give vivid, authentic, and first-hand accounts of the historic movements of troops, of vital logistical supplies, of prisoners of war, and of the debarkation of wounded.

Quite the significant Capture of Tyme indeed; a very distinctive duo detailing a notable aspect of human history during its most trying times.
