1st edition. 222pp. In red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Boards a little worn and marked all over, corners and spine tips a little rubbed and rounded. Text block edges dusty and spotted. A few small and mild marks on front endpapers. Some mild spotting and soiling on first and last few leaves. A little softened. A Londoner recalls his experiences working at the British Embassy in Moscow in the early 1940s, during a short but very difficult period of the second world war, until the evacuation of the Embassy from Moscow to Kuibyshev. Although the author has changed the names of some of those featured, this remains a classic example of insightful travel writing.
