About This Item
New York: Vantage Press, ( 1985 ). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Octavo, 99 pages, black cloth; closed tear to rear panel of dj, worn at extremities and tips of spine.
Presentation Copy inscribed by the Author in 1988 on the title-page. " As I was determined to write a play on the Hitler phenomenon through which I had lived, and as the scope of the tragedy was so tremendous ... it seemed to me that the greatness of the theme demanded the dignity of verse, which, with the lapse of time, would be found increasingly acceptable." - Preface. With an apparently authorial inked correction to the front flap of the dj, and one or more within. The figures of Albert Speer and Eva Braun help to explain Hitler's hypnotic power and how he was able to win the hearts and minds of the German people, and, indeed, to mesmerize also so many eminent non-Germans. The final scene is in the Fuhrerbunker.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
