Description
285 pages. Index. Footnotes. Maps. Black and white photographic plates. "Describes how SOE in the Far East turned a 'subliminal somersault' by departing from its directive and concentrating on paramilitary activities rather than sabotage; and suggests that, had Mountbatten responed to this change of function by placing SOE under direct military control, its agents could have played an even more decisive part in the Allied liberation of South East Asia." - from dust jacket. Usual library markings. Front free endpaper neatly removed. Above-average but not excessive wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart cover. A worthy reading copy. Book
