About This Item
London: Heath Cranton Limited. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1946. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed, "With the Author's Compliments, Alan Peters" atop front free endpaper. "Here are all the ingredients of strong drama, and it was as a play the story was first written, as early as 1933. Twice it was accepted for London production, and twice it was banned by successive Lord Chamberlains, in the days of [pre-WWII German] appeasement. At that time it was a warning, and a prophecy, which has, unhappily, been more than fulfilled." - dust jacket. A fascinating Leeds Libraries Heritage Blog article suggests Alan Peters was almost certainly the pseudonym of Leeds physician Dr. Isaac Hipshon, and that this was his most famous work, describing it as "a searing examination of the 'Nazi Revolution' of 1933 and its impact upon an inter-related group of characters, including a middle-class German family and a Jewish scientist." [6]-184 pp. Clean, tight and unmarked with light wear to original bright blue cloth lettered in gilt upon spine. Average wear to complete dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A well-preserved signed copy of this important and prophetic work.; Sm 8vo; Signed by Author .
