Emmens, Robert G.
Guests of the Kremlin.
Publisher: New York: Macmillan, 1949..
First Edition Octavo, 8.25 (21 cm) tall, in red cloth with a black stripe. 291 pages. A World War II story with Cold War undertones. The author was one of five participants in the Doolittle raid on Tokyo in early 1942. The five landed in Siberia and were locked up in Soviet custody for about a year until their escape into Iran. The book is largely an indictment of the Soviet system. The book is clean, bright and sound, but there is a bump with mild wear to the lower front tip and the foot of the spine shows a touch of wear as well. The dustjacket is lightly worn in the same places and the front flap corners are clipped although there is a price stamped on the bottom edge, apparently common with this publication.

Pincher, Chapman. [Hollis, Roger]
Too Secret Too Long.
Publisher: NY, St. Martin's Press [1984]. 'First U. S. Edition'.
638 p., index, plates. 'Reveals for the first time detailed evidence of how the West's most crucial secrets were betrayed on a level far beyond what has ever been suspected... The man, Roger Hollis, was head of MI5, the woman, known as Sonia, was a Soviet master-agent.' This is basically the Young Turk's [including Peter Wright's] case against Hollis, coupled with Pincher's own theories and investigations. 'If the case isn't proved, Roger Hollis and Guy Liddell made such a botch of, first, Burgess and Maclean, then Philby, then Blunt, that if they weren't traitors, they were treasonably incompetent.'

Pocock, Chris
The U-2 Spyplane - Toward the Unknown: A New History of the Early Years
Publisher: Schiffer Military Books.
ISBN: 0764311131. BRAND NEW Hardcover - 288pp - The full story of the development and early use of the U-2 has never been properly told – until now. This book describes in vivid detail how the high-flying spyplane was conceived, designed, built, and deployed in record time. It explains why the CIA, and not the U.S. Air Force, controlled the project. It traces how the Iron Curtain was pried apart by the epic overflights of "denied territory" from 1956 to 1960. It discusses why these flights were needed, what they were looking for, and how the intelligence they returned was processed and analyzed. Readers are taken inside the Soviet Union's military machine, as it developed new strategic weapons and (eventually) the means to shoot the U-2 down. The book also explores the political dimension, telling how President Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev each faced the challenge of the U-2 flights – albeit from very different perspectives. Toward the Unknown will appeal to students of aviation and intelligence history, and to anyone wishing to learn more about a key episode in the Cold War - Overseas Shipping on this via Airmail Only!.
