Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exciting collection of espionage adventures from World War I, seen through the fresh perspective of a fifteen-year-old schoolboy. The author was an Assistant Commissioner at Scotland Yard during the war, and he was heavily involved in running counterintelligence operations. British intelligence is hamstrung by the lack of competent German translators, forcing the author to use an unlikely source. Philip John (P. J.) Davenant, a schoolboy fluent in German, agrees to provide a helping hand to the intelligence service by lending his curious and resourceful talents. The author provides an insightful backdrop on the policies and challenges faced by the British at the time, with a focus on code-breaking and the vital need for secrecy. P.J. brings an outsider's perspective, often providing startlingly simple but ingenious solutions to the seemingly unsolvable. This book provides a fascinating portrayal of life in Britain during the First World War, managing to be both historically informative and thoroughly entertaining. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331127154_0
