OF THEIR OWN CHOICE : CAPTAIN CHURCHILL`S OWN ACCOUNT OF HIS FIRST SECRET MISSION TO WARTIME FRANCE

1952 hardcover with dust jacket and 218 pages in good secondhand condition. Name in ink in front.

This is the story of the first handful of saboteurs from the French section of the War Office. In January 1942 the author was the first agent to be landed by submarine in the south of France. His instructions were photographed in his mind from the typed sheets he had studied in London ten days before his departure. In the words of General Eisenhower: "Thanks to the underground movement the liberation of France was accelerated by some six months."
