Book Description
8vo. First edition. Original red cloth, gilt. Top edge stained red. Folding maps and black and white photographs including a swaggering portrait frontispiece. Top edge partially faded. Edges and endpapers foxed. Very slight scattered foxing throughout. Unclipped d/w is a bit dust-marked, faded on the spine and has bleeding from the cloth especially to the top corner of the back panel (this is more noticeable on the reverse of the jacket). Very good in very good d/w.
Dealer Notes
Published simultaneously with The Book Society, this is the much scarcer Jonathan Cape first edition. One of the great autobiographies: Soviet Russia in the 1930s, travels in Central Asia, fighting behind German lines with the Long Range Desert Group in North Africa and parachuting into Yugoslavia to join Tito’s guerrillas. John Buchan and Ian Fleming couldn’t have invented this.
