I apologize; don’t mean to be critical; but why this post? Why is this review being written now? The book is out of print - not available at Amazon, not available at half.com, not available in my [large] regional library. Some years ago I read a book by a British agent who worked behind the lines during WWII, may have written a comment to you about it in the past. I might read another book. Just wondering.

I think your question is valid. I hope I can answer it adequately:

There are many books that are "Out of Print" that deserve to be remembered and revisited. The Mihailovich story has been kept "hidden" and/or been twisted to such an extent over the decades since WWII that it's worthwhile to share those accounts which tell the "True Story". It matters to the people to whom this subject matters.

I think there are many old books floating out there that are worth "bringing back to life". Sometimes, giving some attention to those old "out of print" books inspires a current reprinting of them, which is a good thing. Unless, of course, it's a "bad book".
