19891286<p>First Edition First Printing. </p><p>Small Quarto 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches; 240 x 160 mm viii 407 1 pages in publisher's original blue cloth in a photo-illustrated dust jacket.</p><p>The author Jean Overton Fuller 1915-2009 was a prolific British author who specialized in writing about real espionage cases. Here she tries to unravel the mysterious case of Henri Déricourt 1909-1962 a French pilot who was an undercover agent for the British during World War II. Déricourt aided the Resistance in France but was also in touch with the Germans. Indeed he was accused of having sacrificed Allied agents to the Germans. So the question arises: Was he a double agent working for the Nazis Or was he instead under the control of British Intelligence throughout the war The author who knew Déricourt well believes he engaged in "loyal treason" meaning that he ultimately acted under British orders.<br /></p><p>The previous owner of this book was Robert S. Greene 1922-2013 an American author and jazz pianist. Greene himself had an interest in espionage; he wrote a biography of his uncle Paul Blum a counterespionage officer in World War II.<br /></p><p>Laid in to the book is a 1994 typed and signed letter from Jean Overton Fuller to Greene regarding some genealogical questions Greene had posed. There are also two 2009 typed and signed letters to Greene from London bookseller Timothy d'Arch Smith regarding the author's last year illnesses and demise. <br /></p><p>Copies of this book are scarce to the market. Altogether an interesting look at Déricourt by a prolific author of nonfiction espionage books. <br /></p><p>CONDITION: Foxing and a bit of soiling to top and fore edges bumping to a few edges of boards. Internally a couple small stains. The unclipped dust jacket has some minor edge wear and creases. A Very Good or better copy.<br /></p><br /> Michael Russell (Publishing) Ltd. hardcover books

2007011859Washington D. C: National Defense Intelligence College Press 2007. 508 pages/illus/maps. A meticulously researched history of British French and American aerial surveillance on the Western FrontWorld War I marked the beginning of the era of modern warfare a conflict that demanded revolutionary technology to break the vicious stalemate in which the armies of Europe found themselves. One such technology was aerial reconnaissance and photography which together with the growing intelligence use of phone tapping and radio intercepts changed the nature of war forever. Describing the evolution of aerial photography during World War I this text is packed with data information and meticulous research from essential archives including the National Archives in College Park Maryland and Londons National Archives. It shows not only how important aerial reconnaissance was to the war effort but also how it became the foundation for modern-day exploitation of imagery and geospatial intelligence used to guide todays decision makers on global issues and shaped intelligence work for generations to come.
