A propos de cet article

London. The Folio Society. 2007.First Edition. Hard Cover. Decorated boards over black cloth with gilt spine titles. Frontispiece of the author in 1950. Introduced by M.Foot. Foreword by Norman Holmes Pearson. Black and white photographs in the text. Originally published in 1945. Book is in as new condition although lacks the slipcase. Redolent with a sense of immediacy and absolute authenticity, it is impossible to get closer to the desperate world of war-time espionage than this first-hand account written by a key player of the game. J. C. Masterman, MI5 recruit and leader of the shadowy XX Committee was the mastermind behind one of the war s most remarkable achievements: finding, turning and then running almost every Nazi agent to penetrate the British Isles.
