Publication details: Jonathan Cape,1949,
Rare Book
The author's account of his heroic wartime adventures, including the mission for which he was personally selected by Churchill as his personal representative - dropped into German-occupied Yugoslavia to establish contact with the guerrilla leader Tito. The Times obituary describes him as a 'travel writer of great fluency' as well as a 'talented photographer' - those illustrating the text here are, perhaps, then largely his own. He is regarded by many as one of the likeliest models for Fleming's secret agent James Bond, and elsewhere compared to one of Buchan's heroes.
1949, pp. 543, 8vo, original red cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, top edge red, very faint spotting to fore-edge and endpapers, dustjacket with a very short closed tear at head of front panel and the odd tiny nick, the red lettering to backstrip panel a little faded, very good
