London: Derek Verschoyle, 1953. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xiii, [1], 207, [1] pages. Endpaper maps. Some discoloration inside boards and on flyleaves. Cover worn and slightly cocked. These are the espionage memoirs of an American who worked first for British and then for American Intelligence from 1940 until 1945. Mr. Downes’s work took him to every continent except Australasia. He trained agents and sent them through the enemy lines; stole secret military and diplomatic codes from neutral embassies in Washington; made clandestine contacts with Balkan terrorists; and was party to innumerable schemes and plots to discomfort the Axis Powers, ranging from counterfeiting to infiltrating German sabotage and espionage schools. The subjects covered include Spain’s open cooperation with Axis intelligence; the Darlan-Giraud affair in North Africa and the Vichy concentration camps there; the gamble of the Salerno beachhead; the Italian insurrection in Milan, and many more. Mr. Downes is outspoken in his criticism of aspects of Allied policy and behavior. He feels strongly about the action of his Government in failing to honor promises made to people who risked their lives to bring about victory. He is also critical of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, about which he makes some astonishing and, most readers will feel, deeply shocking revelations. This book was first accepted, and then turned down, by no less than three American publishers, and that one admitted to the author that he was afraid of ‘political reprisals’. Besides his work as a Secret Service agent, he has been history student,schoolmaster, political writer and foreign correspondent. More
