The fourteen Papers range diversely from Resistance to Invasion, filled with ingenious, unorthodox and extremely practical suggestions for repulsing an invading host, to the penetrating appreciation of what was to face us After the Battle. And so remarkably sound and useful were they that in the result Wheatley became the only civilian ever to be commissioned directly into the Joint Planning Staff. A great addition to any collection of his works with the dust-jacket well protected in a removable cover sleeve,8vo 364pp First UK Edition 1st Impression [1959]. Seller Inventory # 77554
