Item Details

Description

Assignment In Brittany, by Helen MacInnes..
First edition, preceding the UK edition.
Published by Little Brown and Company, New York, 1942.
This World War II spy novel, written by a master of the espionage thriller Helen MacInnes. Married to an MI6 agent, MacInnes was a Scottish-American librarian-turned-novelist (Belfast Telegraph). This book, her second, follows a British undercover agent who has been dropped by plane into Nazi-occupied Brittany by night. Published in the middle of the war, this work was handed out by Allied officials as part of their training course for agents headed into undercover work in occupied France. The first printing is very scarce.
