A valuable owner-bound convolute uniting two rare and complementary studies on First World War espionage. The first is a Russian translation of Edwin Woodhall’s insider account of British and Allied intelligence operations. The second is the definitive memoirs of Maximilian Ronge, head of Austro-Hungarian military intelligence. Bound together in the post-war period, this volume represents a unique primary source collection, offering a comparative Allied and Central Powers perspective on the clandestine history of WWI. The preservation of the original wrappers within the binding adds significant bibliophilic value.
