Descrizione

8vo., First Edition, with numerous plates and 4 maps (one double-page) in the text; cloth, gilt back, a very good, clean copy in dustwrapper. A substantial and valuable reference. Cookridge and Foot were the pioneer historians of SOE in Europe and both their accounts have stood the test of time. Whilst the latter's 'SOE in Europe' (1966) had official blessing, Cookridge's work is perhaps the more accessible. If nothing else, they launched a minor industry of military scholarship and, given that they were writing before the release of the 'Ultra' papers and the SOE files in general, performed a very creditable role. Enser, p.410.
