Ink comments and marks noted in several places. Postage mark on back cover. Address label to Harold Langley at the back cover.

Lincoln, NE: iUniverse, Inc., 2005. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. xii, 89, [3] pages. Illustrations. Footnotes. Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Inscription reads: Oct 2006 I hop you enjoy this tribute to my father . It was good talking to You! Amory S. Contents include My Diary; Amory's Introduction; A Journal of Alexei Ureyvitch Somorupo; Epiphany; Addenda and Family Tree. Amory was born in Cambridge, MA November 26, 1930. He was a graduate of Phillips Academy, Andover MA and Harvard College. He earned a Master’s Degree from Georgetown University and served as an employee of the CIA. He received a Doctorate in Medicine from the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Twenty years after the end of the war, Amory unexpectedly received his father’s diary in the mail from an old flame. From this, letters, and correspondence from him that he had saved, and memories of his youth, he was able to put together this charming, brief biography, Diary of a Mad Russian. This sobriquet, “Mad Russian,” was affectionately given by Lieutenant Colonel Creighton W. Abrams, commander of the 37th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division. Abrams was likely referring to Sommaripa’s deep-seated hatred of Nazis. It was Abrams who pulled his lifeless body out from under his overturned tank. More

Index. DJ has wear, tears, chips and soiling. Some discoloration of the boards but pages clear. An account of the intelligence activities of William Stephenson, code name Intrepid, and of the world's first integrated intelligence network, established in 1940 by Stephenson under the joint aegis of Churchill and Roosevelt. This work has been described as the Authentic Account of the Most Significant Secret Diplomacy and Decisive Intelligence Operations of World War II. William Henry Stevenson (1 June 1924 – 26 November 2013) was a British-born Canadian author and journalist. His 1976 book A Man Called Intrepid was about William Stephenson and was a bestseller. Stevenson followed it in 1983 with another book, Intrepid's Last Case. He published his autobiography in 2012. In 1976 Stevenson released the book, 90 Minutes at Entebbe. It was about Operation Entebbe, an operation where Israeli commandos landed at night at Entebbe Airport in Uganda and succeeded in rescuing the passengers of an airliner hijacked by Palestinian militants, while incurring very few casualties. Stevenson's "instant book" was written, edited, printed and available for sale within weeks of the event it described. More
