hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that… encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Marks was unable convince his superiors in the Special Operations Executive that apparent mistakes made in radio transmissions from agents working with the Dutch resistance were their prearranged duress codes. The S…OE management, unwilling to face the possibility that their Dutch network was compromised, insisted that the errors were attributable to poor operation by the recently trained Morse code operators and continued to parachute in new agents to sites prearranged with the compromised network, leading to their immediate capture and later execution by the order of the Nazis.

Over-all an excellent & neat copy. This edition features an introduction by Simon Mawer and comes in a handsome slipcase. The title is derived from an incident related in the book, when Marks was asked why agents in occupied Europe their cryptographic material should have printed on silk (which was in very short supply). He summed his reply up by saying that it was "between silk and cyanide", meaning that it was a choice between the agent's surviving by making reliable coded radio transmissions with the help of the printed silk, and having to take a suicide pill to avoid being tortured into revealing the code and other secret information. Unlike paper, given away by rustling, silk is not detected by a casual or typical body search if concealed in the lining of clothing.

Bound in cloth and silk. Blocked with a design incorporating a poem by Leo Marks. Please let me know if you need more information Between Silk and Cyanide: The Story of SOE's Code War by Leo Marks is a critically acclaimed Second World War memoir that was beautifully published as a collector's edition by The Folio Society in 2013. The book chronicles Marks' fascinating experiences as a young cryptographer heading the communications department of the Special Operations Executive (SOE).Book Summary & Key Themes The Author: Leo Marks was a cryptographic genius who joined the SOE at age 22, having grown up in his father's famous London bookstore, 84 Charing Cross Road. The Mission: He fundamentally revolutionized Allied code-making techniques. He replaced dangerously insecure "poem codes" with uncrackable one-time pads printed on silk.The Agents: Marks personally trained legendary secret agents dropped behind enemy lines into occupied Europe, including Violette Szabo and Noor Inayat Khan. The Tone: The memoir balances a witty, dry, and often absurd look at military bureaucracy with the haunting, tragic reality of the code war, including the infamous "Englandspiel" disaster where the Germans intercepted and manipulated Dutch SOE networks. Folio Society Edition Features Release Year: First printing by Folio Society was in 2013. Introduction: Features an exclusive introduction by renowned novelist and historian Simon Mawer. Physical Design: Features a hardcover binding with a custom protective slipcase, typical of high-quality Folio Society productions. Length: Contains 579 pages including historical black-and-white photographs and illustrations. Extra charges for over-sea shipping due to the book exceed 500grams.
