About This Item
Viking Adult, 1971. Viking Adult,06/08/1971,First American Edition. Very Good/Very good. The book begins with the historical, failed attempt on de Gaulle's life planned by Col. Jean-Marie Bastien-Thiry in the Paris suburb of Petit-Clamart. Following Bastien-Thiry's arrest, the French security forces wage a short but extremely vicious "underground" war with the terrorists of the OAS, a militant right-wing group who have labelled de Gaulle a traitor to France after his grant of independence to Algeria. The French secret service, particularly its covert operations directorate (the "Action Service"), is remarkably effective in infiltrating the terrorist organisation with their own informants, allowing them to kidnap and neutralise the terrorists' chief of operations, Antoine Argoud. The failure of the Petit-Clamart assassination, and a subsequent attempt at the École Militaire, coupled with Bastien-Thiry's eventual execution by firing squad, likewise cripple the morale of the terrorists. Viking Adult, 6/08/1971, First American Edition. Copyright by Frederick Forsythe 1971. Very Good++, tight, clean, no soiling or writing, text vibrant. Red paper over boards, red design on cover, gray Cloth onhalf of front cover extended to spine and back cover, red lettering. DJ VeryGood, no tears, some yellowing to spine and top of front and back.
