Six notable mid-20th-century titles centered on World War II, espionage, and postwar intrigue, most in original dust jackets. Included are "Tales of the South Pacific" by James A. Michener (1947, first printing), "Tomorrow Sometimes Comes" by L.J. Ludovici (1951), "The Man Who Never Was" by Ewen Montagu (1953), "Gideon's Risk" by J.J. Marric (1960), "Official Secret" by Clayton Hutton (1961), and "The Schirmer Inheritance" by Eric Ambler (1953). Several of these works are first or early editions, making this a compelling collection for collectors interested in war literature and spy fiction. Condition varies based on images, with most featuring their original dust covers, some showing edge wear. All details verified from images. jrb.
