Espionage

London: Cassell & Co Ltd, 1958. Stained boards and jacket. Nurse Edith Cavell was executed by a German firing squad in Brussells on October 12 1915. The charge of which she had been found guilty was that she assisted Allied soldiers to escape from Belgium, and her execution on such a charge shocked Britain and roused neutral America to bitter indignation. For many years her memory has been an inspiration to succeeding generations. Her story has been told and retold until an idealized myth has displaced fact. This biography is directed, not to propagating a myth, nor to reducing the stature of an heroic woman, but to discovering WHY Edith Cavell trod the road of a martyr. Inscribed "G.M.Masters September 1958" at top of front end paper. 161pp inc Bibliography and Index. . Inscribed on Front End Paper. First Edition. Black Cloth. Very Good (AVERAGE)/Good (BELOW AVERAGE). Illus. by Black & White Photographs. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾". HARDBACK. more information
