Description:
London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1977.. There have been accounts of the British Double-Cross System by those who were involved at the top, but this book is the first to examine the situation from the point of view of the agents involved...Both sides, British and German, attributed success to their inside knowledge. Such was their confidence that the massacre of Allied forces at Dieppe in 1942 was considered a victory by Germans and British alike: the Germans because, forewarned by their agents, they had been prepared; and the British because their plan of deception had made this one of the most successful decoy operations of the war." Pp.x/190, 8 pages black & white photo illustrations. Dark grey cloth, dustwrapper has rubbing to edges with 1cm loss to rear cover. VG/G+.

London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1977. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0297773437 . First printing of first edition in Near Fine condition, lightly bumped corners in lightly chipped dust-jacket . Previous owner's signature and address on the front free endpaper; In this meticulously researched and highly readable book, Peis examines the fascinating and little-known story of British counter-espionage against the Nazi regime. He demonstrates how the British essentially turned their own secret spy machine against themselves, allowing the Germans to identify and eventually catch their most important operatives.

Peis has written a brilliantly original and insightful book that will fascinate anyone interested in the history of espionage or the workings of the Nazi regime.;… Read More
