Quick Overview
The extraordinary story of special agents of World War II -- for the first time in their own words. This fascinating oral history follows the adventures of the courageous men and women who volunteered for service with Britain’s Special Ops and the USA’s OSS. They parachuted behind enemy lines, often alone. Arrest resulted in torture and imprisonment; sometimes in execution. In occupied France they were up against the Gestapo; in the Balkans they discovered that the fiery local politics were as dangerous as the enemy; in the Burmese jungle they led native marauders in surprise attacks against the Japanese. They were a breed apart and this is their story -- compiled from interviews, diaries, letters and contemporary first-person accounts -- many never before published.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
