About this Item

London and New York: Her Majesty's Stationery Office and Cambridge University Press, 1979, 1981, 1984, 1988, . "British Intelligence in the Second World War provides the only reliable account yet published - or ever likely to be published - of the part played by British Intelligence in allied strategy and operations in the Second World War." This is a massive, authoritative gathering of information. These first three volumes of the series described the intelligence channels that gave the Allies their incomparable insight into enemy capabilities and intentions. Two more volumes covering security within the UK and Nazi activities, were published in 1990. Because publication dates were spread over a decade, these first three volumes (the third volume is in two parts) are hardly ever found together, with only individual volumes being listed on the internet in the $50-$100 range. All first editions, all very good - fine condition in very good dust jackets. 24.5 cm. xiii, 601; xvi, 850; xv, 698; xvi, 1038 pp. folding b/w and color maps, tables and plans. Postage at cost on this multi-volume set.
