Publisher: G.P. Putnam's Sons NY HC -- 247 pages Approx. dimensions: 8.5" by 5.5" inches A Novel. Tells the story of an American reporter in Chungking who becomes involved in an "intricate story of espionage and counterespionage." Major Herbert O. Yardley led an exciting and amazing life. As the deviser of a new diplomatic cipher code for the Department of State; and as head of the U.S. Government’s cryptographic department—the so-called Black Chamber—from 1919-1929, he contributed enormously to the U.S. efficiency in war and in peace. During World War II, he served as a Major, becoming chief of military intelligence No. 8 in 1917. He was in charge of military intelligence in C-17 at the peace conference, and on the basis of his record received the Distinguished Service medal. This novel is bound in black boards with red spine lettering. Cover shows very minor corner bumps as does spine. Very good condition but no jacket. Unmarked. Very good scarce title. Great read or gift idea. Feel free to email any questions that you may have prior to purchase. I don't ship media unless requested due to the time can stretch to over 20 days to get to your door. I charge a little more than some for this reason but my packing is careful and I always pay some of your shipping for this reason. Thanks for stopping in! |
