Between Silk & Cyanide: World War 2 Code Maker's War PB

Between Silk and Cyanide
A Codemaker's War, 1941 - 1945
by Leo Marks
Leo Marks, head of communications at the Special Operations Executive during World War II, revolutionized codemaking techniques of the Allies and trained some of the most famous agents dropped into occupied Europe, including "the White Rabbie" and Violette Szabo. As a top codemaker, Marks had a unique perspective on one of the most fascinating and, until now, little-known aspects of the Second World War.

Writing with the narrative flair and vivid characterization of his famous screenplays, Marks give free rein to his keen sense of the absurd and his wry wit, resulting in a thrilling and poignant memoir that celebrates individual courage and endeavor, without losing sight of the human cost and horror of war. 614 pages.

Trade paperback 6¼" x 9¼' published by Touchstone in 2000. Book is new, but there is a 2" black marker line on the bottom of the book.
