350 pages, indexed. First published in 1932, this is the first paperback edition. A title in Penguin's blue biography series. The front and back covers, as well as the front and back paste down are foxed, as is the fore-edge; the title page sits tight on the hinge, as though reattached. Overall a clean, unmarked and solid copy, though obviously second hand. "When it was first published in 1932, "Memoirs of a British Agent" achieved bestseller status both in the United States and in Great Britain. R.H. Lockhart's account of the years he spent representing Britain's Foreign Office in Russia is still immensely entertaining and informative today.... Lockhart was Britain's Vice-Consul in Moscow, then Acting Consul-General, then official "unofficial" representative to the new Bolshevik regime in Russia, between the years 1912 and 1918." (goodreads)
