Descrizione
8vo., First Edition; original ivory cloth, gilt back, boards lightly faded else a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped, mildly age-soiled dustwrapper worn at backstrip. With dustwrapper artwork by Roy Sanford. The first public disclosure in English of the remarkable 'Englandspiel', arguably SOE's greatest scandal in the Low Countries. For some twenty months during 1942-3, SOE's radio links with its agents in Holland were read and 'turned' by the Abwehr with many tragic losses. Written by the Abwehr officer responsible, it was first published in Amsterdam in 1949 as 'Abwehr III F. De duitse contrespionage in Nederland'. Foot terms it 'honest and straightforward'. NOW EXTREMELY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THE DUSTWRAPPER. Enser, p.398.
