Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Pbk Ed. Classical Spies is the first insiders account of the operations of the American intelligence service in World War II Greece. Initiated by archaeologists in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, the network drew on scholars personal contacts and knowledge of languages and terrain. While modern readers might think Indiana Jones is just a fantasy character, Classical Spies discloses events where even Indy would feel at home: burying Athenian dig records in an Egyptian tomb, activating prep-school connections to establish spies code-named Vulture and Chickadee, and organizing parachute drops.Susan Heuck Allen reveals remarkable details about a remarkable group of individuals. Often mistaken for mild-mannered professors and scholars, such archaeologists as University of Pennsylvanias Rodney Young, Cincinnatis Jack Caskey and Carl Blegen, Yales Jerry Sperling and Dorothy Cox, and Bryn Mawrs Virginia Grace proved their mettle as effective spies in an intriguing game of cat and mouse with their Nazi counterparts. Relying on interviews with individuals sharing their stories for the first time, previously unpublished secret documents, private diaries and letters, and personal photographs, Classical Spies offers an exciting and personal perspective on the history of World War II. 420p.bibliography.index.

Original Printed Wrappers. Condition: Very Good+. Autograph; 104 pages; Inscribed and Signed by the author on titlepage "To Gilbert / with deepest appreciation / Manly P. Hall / 1-10-82" Clean and secure in publisher's printed yellow wrappers. This work on classical paganism explores the "lost" period of mystical tradition, between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, in the search for a better understanding of man's place in the Divine Plan. It highlights the significance of various Mystery Schools, particularly the Eleusinian Mysteries, and their impact on classical learning and ethics. The text also explores the connections between these ancient rites and later traditions, including Freemasonry and the teachings of notable figures like St. Paul and Pythagoras. As Mr. Hall states in his preface, "One of the teachings of the initiate tradition in Greece related to the mystery of time. The temple did not divide duration into past, present, and future. Divine and universal laws manifest themselves in an eternal now. Enlightenment belongs to no generation, nor does it increase or diminish." ; Signed by Author.
