Description

xi, [5], 322 pages. Complete with sixteen black and white plates of notable personages. First printing. Relates "the big exploits of those who faced great personal danger and risked their lives for the sake of flag and country. Each story is complete in itself, and yet forms a chain of narratives which illustrates the startling and unexpected manner in which battles have been lost and won through the shrewdness and the courage of military spies at various times in different countries of the world." - Introduction. Tissue-protected frontispiece. Dedicated to William J. Flynn, Chief of the United States Secret Service. Prior owner's name upon front free endpaper, otherwise contents clean and unmarked. Binding intact. Average wear to attractively-illustrated navy blue cloth-covered boards. A quality vintage copy. Book
