Aggiungi al carrelloHardback. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition Thus. 1932. First edition thus. [v], 250pp. and a frontispiece portrait. Marthe Richard (1889-1982) was a French prostitute and spy who later became a politician, and worked towards the closing of brothels in France in 1946. She became a spy under Captain Georges Ladoux (1875-1933),… thanks to her lover, a young Russian anarchist. As part of her duties, she became the mistress of von Krohn, the Naval Attaché of the German Navy in Madrid. Captain Ladoux was later arrested for being a double agent himself, but eventually cleared of all charges. After being released from prison, and restored to the post of commander, Captain Ladoux published his fictionalized Memoires in 1930, but the volume about Marthe Richard was later believed to be mostly an invention. The present edition has been edited by Warrington Dawson, who has also provided a biographical preface of Georges Ladoux. It includes certain a number of passages not to be found in the original French edition, and certain details which the editor learned from Marthe Richard herself. The book is bound in the original grey-green cloth covered boards with black titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear to the boards and slight cocking to the spine. The spine ends are lightly bumped. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. Library stamps/marks/labels/pocket residue/slip, edgeworn, both hinges tape reinforced, tone, wear. Solid hardcover.; Posthumously published memoir of Woodrow Wilson's Ambassador to France William Graves Sharp. Sharp was confirmed just before the outbreak of World War O…ne, and arrived in Paris as the First Battle of the Marne saved the city from the advancing German army. Sharp remained in Paris throughout the war, his memoirs conveying his support for the French nation, and rejoicing when the United States entered the war. He remained on post until shortly after the Armistice, returning to the United States in 1919. He wrote this memoir after his return, and died shortly thereafter in 1922. The memoir highlights French resilience, the task of maintaining American neutrality before its 1917 entry, and the decisive nature of the arriving American army on the war, blending official views with personal reflections of wartime diplomacy. ; War-Memoirs and War History; Ex-Library; xxvii, 431 pages.
