Hardback. With Prefatory Note by Eveleigh Nash and Foreword by Sir Philip Gibbs. 'At the Battle of Sidney Street Mr. Winston Churchill, then in the heyday of his youthful middle-age, descended from the Home Office into the arena, scandalising those who would impose on His Majesty's Ministers the ban of total abstinence from the spirit of adventure. There were those who upbraided him for his recklessness, others extolled his valour.' The author records the police view, which should resolve any lingering doubt in this controversy. Illus. 32pp. Slim volume. Nr. F. no dw.
