Notes

A complete set of four volumes on the Iberian peninsula, during the second world war by British Military Intelligence for internal use only, although a limited number of surplus copies were released for purchase after the cessation of hostilities. This set is from the latter group, with a slip pasted over the warning that it 'must not be shown, or made available, to the Press or any member of the public', and was acquired by the University College of Wales.
