As capas do livro foram protegidas com uma camada plástica protectora que foi colada directamente sobre o cartão, como pode ver na 1ª e 2ª fotos, junto à lombada, e daí a tinta parecer esborratada na contracapa, foto 3 - mas NÂO se trata de um ex-livro de biblioteca.

Fora isso, livro em bom estado.

Miolo em muito bom estado, páginas impecáveis, sem assinatura de posse, notas ou sublinhados. Papel de qualidade.

Based largely on the British Home Office papers in the case, to which access has always been withheld in the past.

After a great deal of official obstruction to his seeing these important documents, Mr. Montgomery Hyde raised the matter as a member of Parliament on the floor of the House of Commons, and eventually the papers were made available to him.

Harford Montgomery Hyde (14 August 1907 – 10 August 1989), born in Belfast, Ireland, was a barrister, politician (Ulster Unionist MP for Belfast North), prolific author and biographer.

He was deselected by his party in 1959, losing his seat in the House of Commons, as a result of campaigning on homosexual law reform.
