Prima edizione
Hardcover / Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First edition. Hardback. Foreword by Leonard J. Burt. The Special Branch is a unique organisation bridging the gap between British Intelligence and Scotland Yard. It has been variously described as the executive arm of the Secret Service and a political police force. It is the most controversial and misunderstood of all the departments of the Metropolitan Police. The work of Special Branch is secret and its personnel do not court or welcome the interest of outsiders. In this meticulously researched account, the author traces the history of the Branch from its formation in 1883. Its operations and investigations are described in detail: the Fenian bombings of the Victorian era; the German espionage networks of the Great War; the Communist trials of the 1920s; the IRA attacks and Soviet spy cases of 'modern' times. This is the first time the methods and officers of the Special Branch are documented in full - the successes and the failures, the coups and the scandals. The book covers a century of history. Illus., Commanders of the Special Branch and Commissioners of the Metropolis 1883-1983, Special Branch Roll of Honour + Index. 180pp. 8vo. h/back. Vg+ in protected Vg+ dw. Note: the white mks. showing at the top edge of the image are just creases in the protective film.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Very minor edge wear to top of jacket, not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, looks unread. 363pp. 'Triplex' reveals more clearly than ever before the precise nature and extent of the damage done to the much vaunted British intelligence establishment during World War II by the notorious 'Cambridge Five' spy ring, Kim Philby, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt and John Cairncross. The code word 'Triplex' refers to an exceptionally sensitive intelligence source, one of the most closely guarded secrets of the war, which appears nowhere in any of the British government's official histories. 'Triplex' was material extracted illicitly from the diplomatic pouches of neutral missions in wartime London. MI5, the British Security Service, entrusted the job of overseeing the highly secret assignment to Anthony Blunt, who was already working for the NKVD, Stalin's intelligence service. The rest is history, documented here for the first time in rich detail.
