Reed, Douglas
The Burning of the Reichstag
352 pages. Four black and white plates. "The greater part of this book was written during the trial of the five men accused of firing the Reichstag. It was thus written in ignorance of the verdict - but in the conviction that four of these men, on the evidence, were innocent of all connection with the fire. This leads of necessity to the further conviction that the great historical question, 'Who fired the Reichstag?' remains for the future to answer." - from Foreword. Rebound by library with usual markings. Above-average wear. Spine slant. A worthy reading copy of this important historical work. Madden p.180, Weiner Library Cat. 7 #199, Phillips p.181. Book

A New Holy Alliance
123 pages. Black and white photographic frontisplate of author. First published in German in the same year. Noteworthy for its call for a resurrection of the same two-front military alliance which was marshalled against Germany in the Great War.

"In July, 1914, Dr. Ludwig expounded the causes and misunderstandings which led up to the Great War. The purpose of the present work is to provide a remedy for the present perilous impasse before it is too late to avert disaster." - from dust jacket. In preparing this work, Ludwig confidentially sent the first 83 pages of his manuscript to Edward VIII for his corrections, which were later provided by letter. (Source available upon request). Bold dust jacket art depicts British/French/US spear piercing a Nazi swastika. Unmarked. Binding tight. Moderate wear to book. Somewhat above-average wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in mylar. Moderate age-toning near endpapers. Moderate foxing to edges and back half of dust jacket.

Waton, Harry
A Program for the Jews and An Answer to All Anti-Semites: A Program For Humanity
231, [1] pages. 9.2" x 6.3". Waton (1871-1959) was a Jewish philosopher keenly interested in the works of Marx and Spinoza. In the Foreword, dated 1939, he states "I convinced myself that human society is irresistibly and inevitably moving towards state capitalism and fascism. Further reflection also convinced me that this social transformation would inevitably bring upon the Jews great suffering. How could the Jews face this world situation? This question occupied my mind for the last twelve years. At last I reached the conclusion which I embodied in a program for the Jews. When the Jews declared war against Nazi Germany and fascism (in 1933), I saw that as a suicidal policy. Thus passed more than five years of ever-increasing suffering for the Jews. When the situation became so grave that the Jews themselves began to realize the gravity of the situation, the Spinoza Institute of America asked me to formulate my program." On page 199 he adds "We have to face the fact that the Leader of the German people has no doubt in his mind that the Jewish problem is the centre of all problems, not merely in Germany, but in the world. It is useless to dismiss this as an illusion, because if it is, it demands explanation. But it is no illusion." Brilliant gilt lettering upon front board. Light external wear. Binding tight. Faint patches of soiling to boards. Occasional light pencil marginalia and underlining until page 21. Moderate age-toning to contents. It is left to readers to ponder the impact Waton's program could have had upon twentieth-century history. Book
