Description

8vo., First Edition thus; blue cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter with one small nick at front panel. First account in English of the supposed betrayal through the Dutch Underground of Operation MARKET GARDEN. Includes aspects of the infamous 'Englischer Spiel' by means of which Hermann Giskes played a deadly and all-too-successful radio hoax with SOE in London (Giskes' own account was published as 'London Calling North Pole'). A key study, first published in France in 1969. VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.212.
