About This Item
Toronto: Little Brown & Company (Canada) Limited. Good in Good dust jacket. 1997. Canadian Edition. Hardcover. 0316640700 . "More than nine million Germans died as a result of Allied starvation and expulsion policies in the first five years after the Second World War - a total far in excess of the figures actuall y reported. That these deaths occurred at all is still being concealed and denied, especially by Western governments. However, while this titanic revenge was taking place, Western leaders strongly opposed to the betrayal of Christian ideals were desperately seeking to bring help to the Germans, as part of a policy to aid starving people around the world. [This book] is the extraordinary story of what happened to these people and why: it rips the mask from a suppressed atrocity and exposes our breathtaking capacity for kindness and cruelty." - dust jacket. Considerable light pencil markings up to page 21. Prior owner's details in ink atop title page. Contents beginning to tan at periphery. Slight lean to spine. Average overall wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy.; 8vo; 320 pages .
