Cloth. Condition: Very Good +. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR JON KIMCHE on the front free endpaper. A solid copy to boot of the 1955 2nd printing, following the 1954 1st printing by 1 year. A profoundly important study of the dramatic migration of the Jews before, during and just after the War. From the dustjacket front flap: "The longing of the Jews for a homeland of their own is a story some two thousand years old. But there can have been few who envisioned beforehand the astonishing manifestation of that longing which took place between the years 1938-1948 and which led directly to the emergence of Israel as an independent nation. 'The Secret Roads' reveals for the first time the fury and compulsion which, before, during and after the War drove hundreds of thousands of Jews from every part of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia to reach Palestine in defiance of the laws of the British Mandate, of the dangers that beset them on their way and of the knowledge that their efforts seemed doomed to failure." A very soliod, presentable copy to boot. Clean and VG+ to Near Fine in its dark cloth, with light bumpiong at the front panel's upper tip. And in a crisp, VG+ dustjacket, with very light creasing and chipping along the top-edges. A well-preserved, very presentable copy of a fragile book.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Edition. "Reveals for the first time the fury and compulsion which, before, during and after [WWII] drove hundreds of thousands of Jews from every part of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia to reach Palestine in defiance of the laws of the British MAndate, of the dangers that beset them on their way and of the knowledge that their efforts seemed doomed to failure. Tells how the trickle of individuals in 1938 became the torrent that swamped and swept the Mandate away ten years later. Describes the amazing organization known as the Mossad, which developed into one of the most successful underground movements in history, with forged passports, secret wireless transmitters, a comprehensive information service, and no holds barred. Tells how the Mossad raised funds, stole lorries, chartered vessels, bribed Governments, channelled refugees to Mediterranean ports and finally broke the British Blockade of Palestine." - dust jacket. 223 pages.
