Delmer, Sefton
Trail Sinister - An Autobiography - Volume One 1/I: Top Newsman Remembers Europe
Hardcover. "Sefton Delmer 1904-1979 was a British journalist of Australian heritage and propagandist for the British government during the Second World War. Fluent in German he became friendly with Ernst Röhm who arranged for him to interview Adolf Hitler in 1931. During the war he led a black propaganda campaign against Hitler by radio from England. It was so successful that Delmer was named in the Nazis' Black Book for immediate arrest after their planned invasion of Britain." - Wikipedia. "Delmer's dispatches were probably read by more people than any other British foreign correspondent's in the years before and after World War II. He could speak and think as fluently in German as in his native tongue which gave him a unique insight into and to a large extent sympathy with the German character. This attribute allowed him in this book to give the most intimate revealing and enthralling picture of life in Germany between the two wars ever written and particularly of the Nazi leaders all of whom he knew personally. This first volume of his autobiography ends with his escape from France in June 1940." - dust jacket. 423 pages. Index. Unmarked with light foxing and wear to publisher's red brick cloth. Binding sound. Small vintage bookseller's label inside front board. Moderate wear to price-clipped dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy of this important account.
