Roughead with E Blunden's regards June 27, 1931'. William Roughead was an early practitioner in the 'true crime' genre and wrote many on the subject including about grave robbers Burke and Hare. He was a Lawyer and would attend trials as research for his works. Blundens factual account of life in the trenches in the great war as a follow on to his classic biography Undertones of War. A scarce title to find with this inscription between the two authors. . Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1930.
