About This Item
New York: Alfred A, Knopf, 1943. 1st Edition . First printing of this scarce title. Very good plus with slight fading to spine ends and minor shelf wear; interior clean and tight. In a very good dust jacket ($2.75 price intact) with a bit of wear at the spine ends and corners, and minor soiling to the rear panel. INSCRIBED BY HOWARD K. SMITH on the flyleaf. The memoirs of one of America's most distinguished correspondents. Smith worked as a young reporter in Berlin during Hitler's rise to power, and for the first two years of the Second World War. Granted a visa to leave the country--coincidentally on December 7th, 1941--he wrote everything censors had forbidden about the physical, emotional, and psychological manipulation of the German people by Hitler, Goebbels, etc. His personal experiences under difficult circumstances are extraordinary enough, but his descriptions of people forced to join the war, compulsory Nazi Youth groups, and of the German high command read like a chilling thriller.
