FIRST EDITION, small pencil squiggle at foot of final page, pp. 320, 8vo, original red cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, top edge a trifle dusty, dustjacket with a hint of fading to backstrip panel, near fine. The author, born in England, was a towering figure in American journalism, the Chief European Correspondent of the New York Times - whose reporting on the crisis in Europe, the basis of this work, had garnered him the Pulitzer Prize in 1934. It is, the blurb promises, a 'first-hand, vivid and authoritative account of the personalities, powers and events that contributed to the blazing catastrophe now sweeping Europe', broad in scope and strong on opinion.
