Hardcover Book without Dust Jacket in Fair Condition. The dust-wrapper(missing) blurb advises that this novel may well be the 20th Century WAR AND PEACE as if written simultaneously by Thomas Wolfe & William Saroyan. Unruh, a general's son, was an officer in the German army until 1912, when he left to pursue his writing career. A novelist, poet and dramatist, he was a fierce opponent of the Nazi Party and wrote several works warning of the consequences of Nazi dictatorship. One of the things he said about this work is that he wanted to show other the horrors of Nazism and to point out the possibility of its eradication.
