About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1939. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fair/Good. Thick 8vo., 599pp. Sharp Stated First Edition of this investigative journalist's in-depth look at the "...events and personalities which are shaping the course of one third of the globe..". Certainly quite prescient given it was published on the eve of WWII. Bound in black cloth with titles in black upon gilt and green spine label. Fold-out Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no toning. Some gentle bumping to spine ends but quite minor. Very well-preserved. Attractive unclipped dust-jacket,($3.50), has a large chip at the crown and several smaller ones along top and bottom edges. Front flap 3/4 split along fold but holding. Spine panel toning. Not perfect but complete, presentable and uncommon in any condition. A solid collectable copy at a great price.
