1918réf. 33679Belp-Bern: Promachos-Verlag 1918. First edition. Softcover. fair. Octavo. 119 1pp. Uncut. Original printed wrappers with red and black lettering on front cover. Publisher's logo on title page. This work was written in 1918 at Brest-Litvosk during the negotiations between the new Soviet government lead by Lenin and Trotsky and the Kaiser’s army while the Russian front was falling apart with Russian soldiers evacuating the front in the face of a German onslaught. In order to save the situation and prevent the collapse of the Revolution Leon Trotsky Soviet Commissar of Foreign Affairs was dispatched to the front to start these negotiations on behalf of the new revolutionary government. The Soviet government was under attack not just by German imperialism but by those on the left who attacked even the very idea of negotiations with imperialists. This left wing opposition was manifested also inside the Communist movement in Germany as well. Confusion reigned on both sides of the front. This booklet was written and addressed in large part to these German workers and soldiers who were confused by the Bolshevik and Soviet negotiations with representatives of their own ruling class. The Comintern later translated and distributed this book throughout the world. Despite this very few copies have survived the Stalinist purges of the Communist Party in the 1930s. This copy is the first Swiss edition published the same year than the German one 1918. Wrappers creased age-toned and partly chipped along edges. Corners bumped thus slightly affecting pages throughout. Tip of upper and lower corners of very first pages creased throughout. Moderate age-toning along paper margin. Text in German. Wrappers in overall fair interior in fair to good condition. Promachos-Verlag unknown books

1928réf. 331684Dresden: Avalun - Verlag 1928. Hardcover. 286p. plus unpaginated index later printing 8.-12. Tausend of the 1927 first issue. Hardbound in 9x5.5 inch openweave raw linen boards with cover and spine titling in orange top edge tinted red with a place-keep ribbon bound in. Still a handsome item but spine panel is faded and very dusty lettering remains legible extremities are faintly edgeworn and casing bears a few dusty fingerprints that do not brush off. Most irritating flaw is that the title-page bears partially erased pencilled information this too still legible whence we get our datings of presswork. Paperstock is largely alkaline but rather pulpy and these attempts at erasure which we have made slightly worse mostly have roughed-up paper's texture. Publisher supplied no printed dating at all FYI. On the plus side hinges are good endpapers and half-title are sound and clean and no markings or erasures will be found in textblock. Fair to good copy. Avalun - Verlag hardcover books

1930réf. 035896NY: Scribner's. 1930. The first American edition with Scribner's "A" on the copyright page. With the 1930 ownership signature of Joseph Barnes. We can offer no direct provenance but a Joseph Barnes author of Willkie: The Events He Was Part Of The Ideas He Fought For was a translator of Russian authors for a number of years and a recipient of the PEN translation award. According to his obituary in the New York Times in 1928 he made an extensive tour of the Soviet Union on which he reported for The New York World. On the staff of the Institute of Pacific Relations from 1931 to 1934 he visited Russia Manchuria Japan and China; he edited “Empire in the East” by 12 members of the American Council of the Institute published in 1934. Barnes joined The Herald Tribune in 1935. He went abroad as Moscow correspondent in 1937 wrote a series on Siberia in 1938 and then went to Berlin as correspondent. He returned to the U.S. at the end of 1939 and in 1940-41 was foreign news editor. From 1941 to 1944 he served as deputy director of the overseas branch of the office of War Information. In 1951 he cited his clearance for that position to counter accusations from McCarthy's House Un-American Activities Committee. He eventually joined Simon & Schuster as an executive editor. Again we can not prove that this Barnes is that Barnes. A New Republic review of the book from 1930 is laid in much acidified and split into pieces at the folds. The book itself shows mild foxing to the prelims fading to the board edges and spine and handling to the covers including a partial cup ring. The binding is sound. A very good copy lacking the dust jacket. Unless otherwise noted our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Scribner's hardcover books
