132 pages. Black and white photographic plates throughout.

Sax, Benjamin C. (editor); Kuntz, Dieter (editor)
Inside Hitler's Germany : A Documentary History of Life in the Third Reich - Sources in Modern History Series
522 pages including black and white illustrations. Avails students and scholars to a collection of source material dealing with various aspects of the political and social history of the Third Reich. An assemblage of 126 documents, many never previously published or translated. Presents entire original documents or extensive offerings therefrom. "Our principle of selection has been wherever possible to reproduce first-hand accounts representing the attitudes and reactions - the roles and options of specific individuals and social groups. The secondary literature on Nazism is extensive, and scholars continue to make important contributions, but these accounts too often leave the student with little sense of the social conditions or the experiences of individuals inside Hitler's Germany. In addition, we have also tried to integrate the history of politics and society with cultural history. Whereas documentary anthologies have concentrated upon political, diplomatic, and military aspects of the Third Reich, we present materials dealing with 1. the ideological content of Nazism and its appeal to various segments of the population, 2. the cultural and social policies of the regime, and 3. the attitudes and reactions of various individuals and groups toward the dictatorship." - from Preface. Average wear. Unmarked. Binding sound. A significant work. Book

Scott, H.G.
From Storm to Storm
242 pages. "Contains a number of short glimpses of certain scenes in the tragic drama of Europe between the two Great Wars, as they were witnessed by the writer. The implications of those scenes were so clear that it must remain something of a problem why the leaders of the nations which wished for peace failed to take warning while yet there was time to avert disaster. A scene from each of the Great Wars has been included as prelude and climax, and some account of what defeat has so far meant for Germany. It is a mild punishment compared with what would have befallen her opponents if they had been defeated." - foreword. Black and white photographic plates. Front free endpaper removed. Prior owner's details blacked out inside front board. Average wear to maroon boards. Spine sunned. Binding intact. A sound copy. Book

Karslake, Basil
1940: The Last Act - The Story of the British Forces in France After Dunkirk
283 pages. Index, references, appendices, bibliography. Black and white photographic plates. Map endpapers. "The 'miracle' of Dunkirk exercised such a grip upon the public imagination that the fate of the 200,000 British troops left behind after the evacuation has been almost totally ignored. In relating the hitherto untold story of what happened to that forgotten army Major Karslake suggests that there were many people who thought it better that the story should remain untold. The extraordinary situation whereby there was no British overall commander, each British formation coming under a separate French command, the fantastic but nonetheless seriously considered idea of the Breton Redoubt, and the loss of a vast and, at that time, irreplaceable quantity of stores are among the most pertinent issues which Major Karslake describes and discusses." - from dust jacket. Usual library markings. Above-average wear. Lean to spine. Still a worthy reading copy. Book
