Description:
1944 Little, Brown first edition, third printing. Inscribed by Maltz to Sholem Asch on the front free endpaper.The novel is a contemporary story of wartime civilian resistance in Nazi Germany. It was highly successful upon publication, and widely distributed to members of the US Armed Forces.
