Publication Details: Jonathan Cape, 1939
Notes: A book with a forthright condemnation of the Nazi regime ('Hitler is a liar [...] stirred to the depths of his shallow soul by dreams of terrorist conquest') but with the thesis that appeasement is the better option - its printed dedication ('without permission') is to 'Neville Chamberlain, Cunctator'. Uncommon in the dustjacket.
