Paperback. Zustand: Good. "If biography is to be defined as 'the history of an individual conceived as a work of art,' then Mr. Duff Cooper's book would serve as an exhibit." --Harold Nicolson Unique in his own age and a phenomenon in any, Charles-Maurice, Prince de Talleyrand, was a diplomat and statesman of outstanding ability and extraordinary contradictions. At once bishop and libertine, iconoclast and traditionalist, he made himself indispensable and held high office in five successive reigns. From the Revolutionary regime, through exile in America, to new eminence under Napoleon, Talleyrand plotted his way to the restoration of the Bourbons and his own crowning achievement--winning an effective voice for France in the settlement of Europe at the Congress of Vienna--and served a further twenty years before he retired, at eighty, under the constitutional monarchy of Louis Philippe. Duff Cooper's classic biography charts his fascinating, checkered career with all the vigor, elegance, and intellect of its remarkable subject.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Not a word is wasted in this gem of a 1950 novel, inspired by the secret wartime plan' The Times A moving reimagining of the man at the heart of Operation MincemeatWilliam Maryngton has just one dream: to fight for his country, as his late father did.

Operation Heartbreak follows Willies life, through youthful idealism, love affairs and disappointed hopes, until, finally, he gets the chance to make a difference.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The greatest deception of the Second World War and possibly in the whole of military history took place in April 1943 when a body was found floating in the sea off the Spanish coast. The documents found on him would eventually find their way to Hitlers desk and send German troops hurtling in the wrong direction. The dead man convinced the Axis powers that the Allies were about to attack Greece and not the real target, Sicily. The course of the war was changed.In this volume is a story within the original extraordinary story. Duff Coopers only fictional work, Operation Heartbreak, was based upon the emotionally charged decision to use an anonymous corpse to weave the web of deceit. The British authorities tried to suppress the book because it would show the Spanish in a bad light, with Franco now in power. A change of heart followed and Ewen Montagu was encouraged to tell the whole story. Anyone who read Ben Macintyres best-selling Operation Mincemeat will have to read this double volume to understand the full story. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
