Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Yale University Press, New Haven, CT. 1972. Hardcover. Stated 3rd Printing. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Very Good +; NOT Price Clipped ($6.95); light rubbing, small missing piece, several scraped to front panel at bottom. Blue cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 203 pp 8vo. This book is the true story of how British intelligence penetrated and practically operated Nazi Germany''s spy network within the British Isles. With great imagination, care and precise coordination, the British were able to identify Nazi agents, induce many to defect, and supplied Germany with completely false information about bombings, battles, and even the D-Day invasion. This book is a testimony to the Brits skill in the fine art of counterespionage. Included is an appendix listing each of the 120 double-cross agents and their tasks, a comprehensive index, and a glossary of military abbreviations. Told by the man who himself masterminded the entire unbelievable four-and-a-half-year scheme. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket. Seller Inventory # 017613
