The synopsis is kinda strange. It feels as if the author hasn't read the book for a while...
During the talks, Baron de Tourneville ignores the truce
The book makes a particular point that a truce *wasnt* agreed
With Lady Catherine, Sir Roger's wife, Montbelle corners the baron and demands that he help the people of Ansby get back to Earth.
Again a particular point is that Montbelle plans to abandon the common people and go back to earth to take power in conjunction with the Wersgorix.
there are others, but the synposis has been around along time, didn't want to just rewrite, just present an alternative view
Baen books did not exist in 1960 as it was founded by Jim Baen in 1983. See the section titled "About Jim Baen" at: http://www.baen.com/FAQS.htm#About%20Jim%20Baen
The first edition, of 1960, of the High Crusade was published by Doubleday. Just type High crusade on a title search at the Library of Congress, where the book was originally deposited in 1960: http://catalog.loc.gov/
I'm not really sure what the purpose of having the name of the book in German right at the beginning was, so I removed that comment J. Passepartout
