Conspiracy Against Europe: The Paris Agreements - a War Plot
155 pages. Black and white illustrations. "This book is a first attempt to analyse the Paris Agreements and to show the great dangers which they entail for all Germans and all the peoples of Europe. The book was completed at the beginning of January 1955 and does not deal with any of the written and oral secret agreements which form part of the Paris Agreements and which have, so far, been kept secret. This book is intended to be a contribution to the maintenance of peace in Europe and the reunification of Germany." - from Preface. "The main aim of the Paris and London agreements is to rearm German militarism and turn a remilitarised West Germany into a military camp of the imperialist Western Powers. It is noteworthy that every effort has been made to camouflage this decisive fact - the creation of a West German Army." - The opening lines of the book. Unmarked. Average wear. Binding intact. Decent working copy of this interesting work. Book
