Win Time For Us
[6], 3-241 pages. "Toyne's skillful acts of sabotage undoubtedly account for part of that inexplicable delay which saved Britain [in WWII]. Not only did his machinations reduce drastically the transport of oil to Germany, but his negotiations held up the manufacture of tires, so postponing Hitler's attack on Russia for eight precious months. The true account of the lonely and perilous work of a Secret Service agent described with dry humour and engaging understatement." - dust jacket. The title originated from Churchill's direction to the author to deny Romanian oil to the Nazis. Book tight, square and unmarked with moderate wear. Above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy of this historic account. Enser p.402. Book
