a| "This entire book is essentially the story of Littlepage's ten years in the service of the Soviet gold trust, and is told in the first person. But some of the deductions and conclusions from these experiences were worked out in conversations and correspondence between Littlepage and myself, and he has therefore requested that I also should append my signature to the book."--Collaborator's foreword.
