It'...You have Burke's last name misspelled. It's Burke Wilkinson. This may have been the cause in yoru internet searches yielding nothing.<br /><br />Wilkinson wrote a handful of espionage thrillers, notably one called THE NIGHT OF THE SHORT KNIVES. However, he's mostly known for his non-fiction work. He edited an anthology called CRY SPY! about true accounts of espionage, and wrote several books about Irish revolutionaries and WW2 era espionage. Yet the most common work in his bibliography (one that shows up for sale most often, and is in hundreds of libraries throughout the world) is UNCOMMON CLAY, a biography of Augustus Saint Gaudens, an American sculptor.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
