wrapper: Statue of Edith Cavell, St Martin’s Place, near Trafalgar Square

‘Their own taxi was held up. It stopped dead under a statue: the lights shone on its cadaverous pallor.

‘“The only fine thing that was said in the war," she said aloud, reading the words cut on the pedestal.
‘“It didn't come to much," said Peggy sharply.'

Published by: Thomas Yoseoff: 1957, 191 pages, illustrated with "rare
photographs". This biography is the first to explore the mystery of Edith
Cavell, the first to separate the real woman from the legend that grew up
around her- the first to expose the facts that seem to indicate that her
execution may have been the result of a desire on the part if certain
individuals to inflame the American public and bring the United States into
the war."   FINE HARDCOVER, VERY GOOD DUSTJACKET...........$25.00
