First edition, first impression, of this memoir, which went through four impressions in one year. In early 1940, the authors enlisted with the French army as ambulance drivers, leaving Paris only a couple of days before it fell to the Germans. They chronicle the generalized panic and chaos and the retreat to Perigueux, an emerging centre of resistance efforts. Trained as an art historian, Douglas Cooper (1911-1984) spent the rest of the war serving in the RAF as an intelligence analyst and interrogator. "From 1944 to 1946 he was deputy director of the monuments and fine arts branch of the Allied Control Commission for Germany, helping to identify, protect, and repatriate works of art. It was in 1949, while on holiday with Lord Amulree and an art historian, John Richardson, that Cooper discovered and subsequently purchased the dilapidated Château de Castille in Argilliers, Gard. That grand eighteenth-century house, filled with Cooper's impressive collection and animated by his own colourful and controversial personality, became a popular end to a pilgrimage for members of the art world. Léger was among the first house guests; Picasso was a neighbour in the south of France and a frequent visitor" (ODNB). Cooper's co-author was a BBC journalist and radio producer. Octavo. Illustrations by Edward Ardizzone in text. Original tan cloth, spine lettered in red, map endpapers. With dust jacket. Edges dusty; jacket unclipped, lightly soiled, couple of short closed tears, a few nicks: a fine copy in very good jacket.
