¶ This copy comes from the library of the Dutch journalist Paul Vroemen, who provided the flyleaf with an original black and white photo of Urquhart and above it his own name, dated '17 September 1958'. General Urquhart's SIGNATURE is nicely positioned on the title page (with ex-libris blind stamp by Vroemen). Signed books by Urquhart are practically UNFINDABLE.
