Bound in pebble grained cloth-backed decorative paper boards, a little rubbed and worn, with paper title-lable to spine: 'Krieg und Frieden' . Ownership inscription to free endpaper: RK Kommer a. Cz., Bern - 1919. Journalist, impresario and spy Rudolph Kommer (1886-1943) usually added the abbreviation a. Cz. (for from Czernowitz) and thus clearly indicated his Judaism. Having worked as a correspondent in Berlin, London and New York City, Kommer was deported from the US in 1917 and employed by the Austrian secret service as a diplomat and spy in Strockholm and then Bern (hence the inscription). He translated at least one of Herrons works, which were highly critical of US President Woodrow Wilson, from English into German. Other authors and subjects (aspects of the Austrian national question; the essence, purpose and economy of Communism etc.) are also what one might exect a well-connected Austrian journalist to be concerned with in the aftermath of the Great War. In the 1920s he became Max Reinhardts representative in English speaking countries and, nicknamed Kätchen, offered support to numerous exiles from the cultural scene who had emigrated to the UK and the USA during the Third Reich.
