Fitzroy Maclean – Eastern Approaches – First Edition 1949
£350.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Jonathan Cape, London, 1949. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper is clean and with slight rubbing at the edges, being slightly soiled in places. There is a dark patch to the tail of the spine. It is not price clipped, retaining the original 15s. price. The boards, in the original publisher’s red cloth, are free from notable chips and marks and the gutters intact. Each of the illustrations and maps are present and only a neat name and date to the front endpaper. Overall, this is a very good copy of an increasingly scarce title.
A memoir of the author’s early career. It is divided into three sections: his life as a junior diplomat in Moscow and his travels in the Soviet Union, notably the forbidden zones of Central Asia; his exploits in the British Army and SAS in North Africa; and his time with Josip Broz Tito and the Partisans in Yugoslavia.
