It's a Battlefield
Penguin Main Series 257. 1st Edition, published 1940.
Drover, a Communist bus driver, is in prison appealing his death sentence for killing a policeman during a riot at Hyde Park Corner, a policeman he thought was about to club his wife. A battle rages to save Drover's life from the noose. The Assistant Commissioner, high-principled and over-worked; Conrad, a paranoid clerk; Mr. Surrogate, a rich Fabian; Condor, a pathetic journalist feeding on fantasies; and Kay, pretty and promiscuous — all have a part to play in Drover's fate.
Condition grading: Good book in Fair dust jacket. Grubby dust jacket has wear and tears to top edge. Bottom edge of dust jacket has wear at spine and joins. Book has wear and a crease to front cover bottom corner. Wear to bottom of creased spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
