A tight first edition, however this book has notable flaws. The cover is very slightly sun faded on spine and has a 25mm rip on front centre. With a plastic cover this would be unnoticeable. The flap is price clipped. The book is in very good condition but is very foxed. Looks as if this was stored in a box in the shed for some time. The previous owners inscription is on the flysheet. An average copy that will look good on the shelf.

One winter night seven men, and a girl, are parachuted onto a mountainside in war-time Germany. Their objective? An apparently inaccessible castle, headquarters of the Gestapo, to which a crashed VIP American general has been taken for interrogation. Or is this audacious rescue the sole reason for the expedition? Where Eagles Dare has all the ingenuity, physical excitement and (literally, this time) cliff-hanging suspense that one has come to expect from a top-flight Alistair MacLean.
