Much creativity and literary license was put by the anonymous writer into the narrative of this book. The book is richly illustrated, but with drawings instead of photos. Only one illustration is an identifiable photo, of battleship October Revolution, at anchor in view of Leningrad. The other photo shows a burning vessel on the horizon. The caption says it is a German tanker, burning after an attack by Soviet Naval assault aviation. It may be true, who knows!

In very good to excellent condition. The cover shows mild storage wear, and a small area of damage to the back cover and a few adjoining pages. The paper is supple, mildly and evenly age-toned, the binding is tight and strong, the internal pages are clean, the corner bumps are negligibly small. The text and graphics are crisp and vibrant.

Please note that the penny in our photo is for size reference.
