' Many British servicemen and women who failed to return from the war against Nazi Germany would have remained 'missing in action' if officialdom had had its way.

Internally - no inscriptions, clean and crisp. There is light foxing on the inside of the cloth covers and some very light, very scattered foxing internally - does not detract. Some light dust soiling of the top page edges. (please note the photo depicting the page with photos - my photographic process created the browning of the white areas)

Dust jacket, un-clipped, in vg condition - their is some fading, particularly on the back, and light rubbing of the edges. Very light crinkling on the back cover. Overall a VG copy.
