HALE, JULIAN. — Black Summer.

London: Hamish Hamilton, 1982. 0241107679. 1st ed. "When the Germans invaded southern Russia in the summer of 1942, their superbly trained troops encountered little opposition - until they reached the Caucasus mountains, where the last, desperate units of the Red Army and Russian partisans were awaiting them. Julian Hale has taken this campaign, the turning point of the Second World War, and crafted it into a gripping novel of war, love and divided loyalty." Pp.296, slight toning to pages. Blue cloth, d/w (illustrated by Michael Johnson). VG/VG.
