Boards show light shelf wear, DJ shows heavier wear with short tears, chipping & creasing. Price-clipped. ; A tight solid book. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. Map endpapers, B&W photographs ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 320 pages; "Days after France fell in June 1940, Charles de Gaulle appointed Andr Dewavrin to create, from scratch, the Free French Intelligence Service. Recruiting agents among the sailors, farmers, painters, housewives and children of Occupied France, he managed cells of spies across the country, and focused their attention on one goal: preparing for the Allied invasion of France, even at the risk of torture and death. Using a wealth of material both published and unpublished, including interviews with Dewavrin and de Gaulle himself, Collier has produced an authentic record of one of the most remarkable episodes of the Second World War; a human story of a group of ordinary people whose faith paved the way for Eisenhowers great sweep across Europe.
