28 Jul 1939 - Oct 1939When the Second World War opened, the Duke de Richleau and his friends Simon Aron, Rex van Ryn and Richard Eaton–the indomitable four–were in Poland. Here is the story of how they came to be there and found themselves even before the outbreak of hostilities involved in a most damnable conspiracy. In Codeword–Golden Fleece the scenes of intrigue, violence and escape in Warsaw are exceeded only by those which follow in Bucharest–whence the friends are carried in a desperate attempt to sabotage Hitler's war economy and force Germany to ask for peace before she can muster her full might for an assault on Western Europe.(1963 Arrow): It can now be revealed that the plot of Codeword–Golden Fleece is based on fact. Actually, it was given to Dennis Wheatley when he was a member of the Joint Planning Staff of the War Cabinet by a Foreign Office colleague there. On behalf of the Allied governments a French nobleman did actually succeed in acquiring a controlling interest in the Danube oil barges and their tugs. The Germans failed with the Vichy government in an action for its return and half the Fleet had been got out to Turkish waters. Supplies of fuel for the Luftwaffe were seriously crippled by this ingenious secret stroke.

Loved this book a LOT! BUT, after thinking the Modern Musketeers were finally going to be foiled, we find at the end that a ‘photostat’ of the Fleece made it’s way to England? In the 1930’s? I’m all for suspending disbelief but that and the Duke being shot SEVEN times and surviving??🙄 I obviously love these characters and how books are set in ‘real world’ history, but some of it is just a head shaker.

A good background history to the beginning of the second world war starting in Poland and finishing through Rumania to Turkey.
A bit far fetched and an interesting insight into conditions in Poland and Rumania at the start of the war. Needs some effort to read this book.

Quite exciting in an old fashioned way. Sort of like Boys Own for adults. I particularly like the way it goes into detail about Europe during the war and facts that I would never have known.

I read this book many years ago and I enjoyed it then and I did again. Its historical back ground is excellent and an easy way of learning a bit of history
