Add to basketHardback. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. No stated date c1950s. Reprint (the first edition was in 1936). 255pp. We believe that 'Operator 1384' was John Henry Harvey, an Englishman in the French Foreign Legion who, along with Bennett Doty (an American) and two Germans, deserted the Legion in Syria in 1926. He was captured but ev…entually allowed to leave the Foreign Legion after enough diplomatic and political pressure was made to bear on the French Army. He writes in his preface to this story of L'Espionage Central, the Secret Service of the French Foreign Legion, that the names in the book are pseudonyms; but he has adhered strictly to facts, and has related no incident which did not actually occur and in which he did not personally take part. The book is bound in the original red cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear to the boards and slight fading along the top 1/2" of the front board. The spine is more noticeably faded and the spine ends are lightly bumped. The contents are tight and clean with browning to the free endpapers. There is no inscription.
