Some years ago, Michael Harrison set out to discover the truth about Roman London. Did it survive the Saxon onslaught in the fifth century, or (as many historians have claimed) did it lie sacked, ruined and abandoned the back century and a half. Searching for an answer, Michael Harrison forge for himself a new "truth detecting" method of discovery; but even he could not anticipate immense success of this method."

Rubbing of the dustwrapper edges and panels with chipping of the back strip corners and there is a 1 inch tear to the lower right-hand corner of the front panel. Fading of the back strip.
