About This Item
New York, NY: Time Reading Program, 1966. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Time Reading Program special edition. In her classic study of WWII, Dame Rebecca West interprets the impulse of treachery and betrayal. From the trials of William Joyce and John Amery, the renowned historian takes the reader from a London devastated by war into the inner world of "sufferings which overtake people who live unnaturally and cut the bonds which bind them to their own country." West continues into the 1960's her brilliant account of traitors in World War II and after, adding the atomic spy cases (the Canadian spy ring, Ruchs, the Rosenbergs), the later paid spies and defectors (such as Lonsdale, Vassall, Pontecorvo) and the Ward-Profumo- Christin Keeler scandal. 410 pages. Some light rubbing on top & bottom & edges of spine and some places on outside edges. Spine is creased. Rear cover top left corner is bumped. Book is nice & tight..
