Covenant Publishing, 1965. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. xii, 156pp. Includes maps etc. In green cloth-covered boards (clean, square, a little rubbed at corners). Image on front free endpaper, first few pages have some mild marks. In its original dust jacket (very gently rubbed at edges, a little shelf wear). More of a detective story than a history, Stoker tells how Chester was the military headquarters for the Romans in Britain and then how it became both the ecclesiastical and civil centre of Britain for nearly 200 years, and in doing so, raises King Arthur from a legendary figure to an historical one fighting battles in Lancashire and the North.

Description:
London: Covenant Publishing Co Ltd, 1965. Signed 'R B Stoker' to title page. No other marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked turquoise cloth boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or torn or creased with small mark to front. 156pp. A controversial study in which the author provides his unearthed evidence that Chester was the GHQ and military capital of the Romans in Britain and that Chester became an Archbishopric 400 years before Canterbury and then the capital of Wales. He shows how and why history books have concealed these facts and thus raises King Arthur from a legendary figure to an historical one fighting battles in Lancashire and the North.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. 8.75 x 5.75 inches.
