About This Item
Alliance Book Corporation, 1941. Book of the Month Club. hardcover. very good: slightly bumped corners, mild shelfwear to boards and spine, text clean, binding tight./no DJ. 8vo 749pp. from BOMC insert: "This is a book full of sensational revelations and interspersed with episodes of daring, of desperate conflict, of torture, and of ruthless conspiracy. It is also a gallery of portraits of the leaders of the fanatical men and women who carried on the Communist struggle in Europe through the twenties and thirties, and of the equally fanatical and even more unscrupulous instruments of Hitler and the Gestapo. But it is, first of all, an autobiography of a German youth--his history as a professional revolutionist--from the time when, as a youth, he was involved in the insurrections that flared up in Germany at the close of the last war, to a very recent date, when, disgusted with dogmatisms, fanaticisms, and tyrannies, pursued by the Gestapo, betrayed by his own party, his wife tricked to her death, his child seized by the enemy, his own faith in the revolution of violence completely shaken, he escaped and wrote this book." #01015.
