1st.
1994.
Hardback.
Large format.
Slightly better than very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.
A remarkable story of courage and dedicaton, with many individual combat reports, the stories of escape and evasion also show the courage of Resistance fighters who helped downed airmen. A fascinating social documentary on the impact of war on a handful of tiny rural viallages, their inhabitants and of a lifestyle which has now almost vanished. Blue boards, gilt title to spine. B/w and colour photos. Fold out site plan of Steeple Morden at rear. ISBN: 0905858913. Slight bumping to spine. Dustwrapper is just a little creased at top and tail of wrapper.
