Product Description
This First Edition, HARDBACK, St Ermin's Press, London, 2000, has a mint unclipped dust jacket that is now protected in an extra, bespoke, clear, acid-free slip cover. The cover is sang-de-boeuf with gilt lettering to the spine. The book size is 6.25Ó w x 9.5Ó h with appendices, an index and 814 pristine page on average quality paper. ISBN 0953615189. ( This compendious work lacks only one thing - photographs. The exploding camel / sheep / donkey / cow pats! The exploding wine bottles and all the other ingenious secret weapons. 85% of SOEÕs records were lost in a fire after the War. To make up the lack of visual stimulus I have included photographs and some operational details of a pair of SOE agents serving in the Balkans - one was my late father. BoudiccaÕs Books. )
