The Guns of Navarone by Alistair MacLean (author of H.M.S Ulysses). Published: Collins St. James?s Place, London ? 1957. This book was the basis for the World War II action adventure film with an all-star cast headed by Gregory Peck, David Niven, and Anthony Quinn. Here is a brief synopsis of the book - Twelve hundred British soldiers isolated on the small island of Kheros off the Turkish coast waiting?waiting?waiting to die. Twelve hundred lives in jeopardy, lives that must be snatched from the remorseless grip of an exultant enemy ? and would be ? if the guns of Navarone could be silenced. The guns of Navarone, vigilant, venomous and damnably prey. Navarone itself, grim bastion of the narrow straits manned by a mixed garrison of Germans and Italians, an apparently impregnable iron fortress, was the supreme obstacle to any rescue attempt by the royal navy. The Guns of Navarone is a story of that mission, the tale of a calculated risk in time of war typical of many undertaken in days and nights of danger and now more happily recorded in tranquility. Very interesting book! The book is in very good condition. It has a paper and plastic dust jacket that is very good. The book itself has blue cloth over board for the cover with gold embossing on the spine ? it is superb! The pages are also in very good condition and the binding is tight and clean. It measures 5 ¾? x 8 1/8? x 1 1/8?.

Striving For Excellence
It isn?t brilliance or just getting the breaks,
It is consistent ...
