2 feuillets. 285 pages. 1 feuillet. (19x12,5cm). Broché. Couverture imprimée. Première et quatrième de couverture déchirées, fortes rousseurs, tàche et salissures. Dos manquant. Coins émoussés et coiffes abimées. Ferdinand Tuohy, officier de renseignement britannique actif durant la Première Guerre mondiale, relate dans cet ouvrage les opérations clandestines menées entre 1914 et 1918, en s'appuyant sur ses expériences directes dans le domaine de l'espionnage. Traduit en français par Maurice Dekoba, le texte explore les méthodes d'infiltration, de contre-espionnage et de renseignement militaire qui ont marqué ce conflit, reflétant le contexte d'une guerre totale où l'information devint une arme stratégique décisive. Il offre un témoignage factuel sur les réseaux secrets alliés et ennemis, soulignant la tension entre ruse et loyauté dans une Europe dévastée par la mobilisation générale. Cette perspective d'un acteur de terrain éclaire les fondements modernes des services de renseignement. Papier bruni, quelques rousseurs sans gravité et cahiers mal-reliés.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. EXTREMELY RARE! 323 pages, a very good plus hardback, publisher's original green cloth binding with renewed gilt lettering to the spine. This book was in a university library but there's minimal evidence (there is a tonal change on the lower part of the spine where the library sticker used to be). The book also looks like it has never been read. Certainly, it is still ever so tightly bound.

1st edn. 8vo. Original red lettered black cloth (boards a little discoloured - otherwise VG), dustwrapper (partial loss at top edge of upper cover and small tears and creases at edges - in protective wrapper). Pp. 325 (no inscriptions).

FIRST EDITION, the specious note 'Printed in Canada' added in manuscript to title-page (the printed statement to verso clarifies in fact printed in Guernsey), pp. 256, crown 8vo, original green cloth, lettered in red to upper board and backstrip, the latter a little faded at tips, bookseller ticket to front pastedown, dustjacket by J.L. Carstairs, slightly chipped and nicked to extremities with a touch of browning to borders of flaps, discreetly price-clipped, very good. A scarce book by a British journalist, for many years the foreign correspondent of the Sphere, documenting the international traffic of narcotics in recent times. Not without sensational elements - the author notes the alarming military usages developed during the Great War (during which he had been an intelligence officer) and refers to the 'ample evidence' of their growing place in sport - Tuohy's is a serious account, though far from dry, and sprinkled with contemporary slang. The dustjacket, by J.L. Carstairs, is glorious.
