Drink to Yesterday is a classic mystery novel written by Manning Coles. It tells the story of Tommy Hambledon, a British spy who is sent to Germany to investigate a group of Nazi sympathizers.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a nice insight into the life--sometimes tedious, sometimes frightening--of undercover spies during WWI. The book was written by "Manning Coles," a pseudonym for coauthors Adelaide Manning and Cyril Coles--the latter actually worked for British Intelligence into the 1950s, and that lends believability to the story. Substance and style co-exist nicely in this, the first of an intriguing series.

Wonder historical mystery set in WWI German, a perfect companion to Coles; A TOAST TO TOMORROW - a delight read that I undertake once a year. Great insight to the period.
