First edition. 224pp. Blue cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. Bumped spine ends. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Dust jacket has shelf wear, chipping to edges, mirrors book damage, price clipped. 8vo. Possesses some of the elements of a first-rate suspense novel, but it is also the human story of an unremarkable man, with no political commitments, trapped by the forces of a militarist state, and as such it is very much of our time.
