1938. Stott page 70 and Appendix V, Note 5.

Based on Maugham's own experiences with British Intelligence in the first World War, Ashenden later became required
reading for persons entering the British Intelligence Service. At the beginning of the second World War, Hitler's
minister of propaganda, Dr. Goebbels referred to Ashenden as an example of British cynicism and brutality.
Not all of the stories made it to print; when Maugham showed some of them to Winston Churchill, he was told they
violated the Official Secrets Act and Maugham had to destroy them. The book that changed the espionage novel genre
from fantasy to reality based. Greatly influenced Maugham's friend Ian Fleming, most obviously with Maugham's "R"
becoming Fleming's "M." The precursor to Deighton, Ambler, le Carre et al. Both the First Edition and the American First
Edition are scarce in dustjacket, despite the large issue, due to its choice by Ellery Queen for Queen's Quorum and
Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone Library. Hence one of the most collected and collectable of Maugham's books.
