First edition, first impression. Series of essays on "Great Men of our age", which includes T. E. Lawrence, Trotsky and Hitler, "We cannot tell whether Hitler will be the man who will once again let loose upon the world another war in which civilization will irretrievably succumb, or whether he will go down in history as the man who restored honour and peace of mind to the great Germanic nation and brought it back serene, helpful and strong, to the forefront of the European family circle."
Octavo. Original blue cloth, titles gilt to spine and upper board in the dust jacket. 21 plates. Contemporary gift inscription to the front pastedown, free endpapers differentially browned, otherwise very good; dust jacket somewhat spotted, price-clipped, and chipped and rubbed at the spine, but largely complete and still attractive.
