Half That Glory

New York: The Macmillan Company. Very Good+ in Good dj. 1941. First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped?) [minimal shelfwear to book, some dust-darkening to top of text block; jacket front flap clipped rather weirdly (although the printed price is still present), a few small chips along top edge and at spine extremities (about 3/4-inch torn away at top of spine, impacting most of the author's name thereupon), light soiling and general wear]. "This picaresque tale of adventure is unusual in its theme -- that the American Revolution was won in Europe -- and in following a part of history hitherto neglected in fiction, the roles played by Benjamin Franklin, the Lees of Virginia, Beaumarchais, and the British Secret Service." .
