Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. No Dust Jacket. 8vo. pp 249. Original publisher's black cloth, lettered gilt at the spine. A scarce war novel. 'Cold Feet' details the exploits of a man court-martialled for cowardice and due to face the firing squad, only to redeem himself in saving his execution party from a German pilot. A fictional account, albeit not portrayed as such to the reader. The jacket blurb states, "is this book fact or fiction/ we must leave it to the reader to decide. It purports to be a human document, written by an officer in the great war, who was condemned to be shot for cowardice. In effect, it is the study of a naturally sensitive nature to whom the horrors of war offer an impossible problem." Slight wear to covers, otherwise very good. Decent copy.
