DESCRIPTION:

“The Guns of Navarone” is an exhilarating adventure novel by Alistair MacLean, following a daring Allied commando team tasked with destroying a seemingly impregnable German fortress during World War II. MacLean’s masterful storytelling and vivid descriptions create a tense, gripping narrative that was later adapted into a famous 1961 film starring Gregory Peck, David Niven, and Anthony Quinn. This first edition, published by Collins in London in 1957, is signed by Alistair MacLean on the title page. The book is in pristine condition, with a binding that is very bright, tight, and clean. The dustwrapper is also in fine condition, showing only the most minor amount of edgewear and is correctly priced at ’14s net’.
