1999290 pages. Reproductions of black and white photos in text. "Whether by accident or design, governments and agencies have remained silent, so all the research has been up to us. However this true fifty year old shame must be revealed in the hope that mankind remembers and never allows it to be repeated." - from Foreword. "Our story tells what happened to 168 Allied Airmen who jumped into Northern Europe after their planes had met with an explosive and fiery end... Because our eventual betrayal to the Gestapo was accomplished so smoothly, a number of these encounters will be explained so that you can better understand our dilemma. The retelling of our encounter with our Gestapo hosts is mild, for many of us do not wish to recall the most unpleasant details that deserve to stay well hidden in the back of our minds... Now with this story told, we again wish to forget." - from Prologue. Moderate wear. Unmarked. Binding intact. A sound copy. Book

Though never on-screen together the two stars actually have an interesting connection: Davis sang the title track for the 1955 film Six Bridges to Cross which featured Mineo's debut performance and it was reportedly while en route to the recording studio to perform the song that Davis was in the auto accident in which he lost an eye entirely changing his life and career.

Catalogue accompanying the exhibition at the Museum fur Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg 1 October - 14 November 1999. 244 plates. "Horst Janssen is a once-in-a-century phenomenon an impressive and celebrated draughtsman very few can match up to. And yet there are still some - as yet scarcely noticed - facets of his work remaining to be discovered. Janssen's oeuvre confronts the observer like an enormous artistic moutain massif of countless drawings woodcuts etchings monotypes watercolours pictorial letters postcards and posters. In all of them he broke the bounds of the 'standard measure'. Everything about him was extraordinary including the number of posters he designed and the number of versions which were printed." - Foreward. A new unread copy stll in shrink wrap.
