About This Item
New York, NY Ballantine Books: Ballantine Original, 1959. Paperback Good in Wraps: shows indications of considerable use: moderate wear to the extremities; noticeable rubbing, spine leans a bit; the pages have tanned heavily, due to aging; sparse chipping at the head and heel of the back strip; former owner's name in pen at the inside of the front cover and another former owner's name in pencil has been crossed out in pen at the front endpaper; the glue, as one can imagine, is getting brittle, but is still holding. Despite noted flaws remains a reasonably sturdy reading copy with a clean text. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. 152pp. Introduction by General Bill Donovan. Mass Market Paperback. The story of how allied resistance leaders were deliberately sacrificed to Gestapo torture - the true story of our D-Day deception plan, "Operation Stampede".
