Collins Harvill Press, Melbourne, 1976. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/Very Good. Illustrator: Photographic. Translator's notes, glossary and index. At the beginning of the text there are four pages of maps showing The Destructive-Labour Camps and a black-and-white photograph of the author in 1946 in one of those labour camps. Black coloured boards with gilt coloured titles to the back strip. Photographic dustwrapper with black and white coloured titles to the front panel and back strip.
