About This Item
The real story of smuggling is just as exciting as the old tales of silent, sinister men risking their lives to bring comforts to an overtaxed population. Smugglers were often larger than life but rarely the gallant hero. Here, the aims and devices of hard-pressed smugglers, the conflicts between the Customs Service and the Royal Navy, and the new types of smuggling that the Customs and Excise combat today, are lucidly described.
The book itself is in very good condition. All pages intact, bright and unmarked. DJ is in an excellent state apart from a small piece removed where the price was. See photos. Else, exceptionally clean and bright. All now protected in professional clear book wrapper. 155 pp with B&W photos and drawings
