THE ANGELIC AVENGERS.

By: Andrezel, Pierre. (pseud of Karen Blixen, aka Isak Dinesen).

Price: $85.00 USD

Publisher: London, Putnam: 1946

Edition: First British Edition

Seller ID: 23566

Binding: Hard Cover

Condition: Very Good

303 pp, 8vo (8" H). "Pierre Andrezel, whose name appears on this novel, is described as a young Frenchman, born in Rouen 1915, and educated at Oxford where he wrote stories for English magazines. His original publication of 'The Angelic Avengers' in Copenhagen in 1944 may be explained by the state of France at that time, and the less oppressive conditions of the Danes, whom the British Prime Minister dubbed 'the Gangster's Canary Birds'. The use of this phrase in the book can hardly fail to be an allusion, and may have a certain significance, although it would be an error to regard the book a...

208 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). B&w maps, organization chart. "Tom Angus sets out to apportion no blame, nor does he seek to analyse the reasons for the failure of the operation. His aim is simply to describe what it was like to be a 30-year old company commander during those eight days in hell. For obvious reasons, the characters are not all drawn straight from life. The names are changed and he does not specify the units concerned. But the events he describes did happen just where and when and how he describes them; so if this is not a conventional work of military history nor is it by any means fi...
