LE CARRE, JOHN (PSEUD. DAVID JOHN MOORE CORNWELL.) — The Looking-Glass War

London, Heinemann. 1965, 1st.UK Ed.. Hardcover. Book, 'Snow covered the airfield. It had come from the north, in the mist, driven by the night wind, smelling of the sea. There it would say all Winter, threadbare on the grey earth, an icy, sharp dust; not thawing and freezing, but static like a year without seasons. The changing mist, like the smoke of war, would hang over it, swallow up now a hangar, now the radar hut, now the machines; release them piece by piece, drained of colour, black carrion on a white desert . Neat copy of UK first edition but lacking the dj. Fine/No Jacket.
