APPOINTMENT IN CRETE. The Story of a British Agent.

Proof or advance copy of the first edition, first printing. Publisher's stiff card covers in the fixed John Craxton illustrated dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding tight, the contents, mildly toned to the paper stock are otherwise clean throughout. The dustwrapper has been fixed in place and is therefore in near fine condition with just a touch of rubbing and creasing. Not price-clipped (15s net to the front flap). Rare in this form.

A first hand account of the British lawyer Alexander Meadows Rendel (1910-1991) who served as a Special Operations Executive agent in Crete alongside Patrick Leigh Fermor during World War II.
