Schacht, Hjalmar; Glasgow, George [Introduction]; Gannett, Lewis [Translator]
The End of Reparations: The Economic Consequences of the World War
271 pages. Index. Author was "the man upon whom fell the brunt of piloting Germany through the financial dangers of 1923 to 1929. It was the historic German financial collapse of 1923 that first brought Dr. Schacht into prominence. In November of that year he was made the Imperial Currency Commissioner with the specific purpose of stemming the nation's hyperinflation. This book is one of the best contributions yet made to an understanding of post-War difficulties in finance and economics. In particular, Chapter XIII, on 'The Socialist System,' contains a warning for Great Britain which can hardly fail to make a profound impression." - Introduction. Modicum of library markings. Binding sound. Moderate foxing, primarily to fore- and bottom edges. Above-average but not excessive overall wear. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy. ALDCROFT & RODGER p. 98, PETERSON p.367. Book

In short, a poor but intriguing copy. Book

Mueller, Wolfgang G.
A Pre-Liberation Situation Description
24 pages. A strident essay "Intended to survey some of the lies, idiocies and defamations of Germans in present day Germany, where it is presently impossible to have a reasonable dialogue between the generations born before and those after, say 1939, because the Western Allies after 1945 had made a determined, well organised effort to re-educate the younger generation regarding the historical events since the 1900's." - page 2.
