Description

8vo., Third Impression, with 19 plates on 8 and numerous figures in the text; cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Published in the same year as the first edition. Classic and long-awaited account of SOE cryptography by a legendary wartime expert. Marks wrote the famous poem 'The Life that I have' which he subsequently gave to Violette Szabo as her code key, and discloses here for the first time the story of the code war between SOE and the enemy in Holland. After WWII, Marks went on to become a prize-winning scriptwriter (he wrote Michael Powell's cult classic feature film 'Peeping Tom').
