Near fine in very good dust jacket (some discoloration to the gutters of the endpapers and sunning and discoloration to the spine of the dj) . First printing. An ironically titled brief book, written after the Munich agreement of September 1938 in which Mann "castigates those whom he holds responsible for a settlement unfortunate for the future of the democratic peoples" - an event he calls the final triumph of fascism, aided by the ruling classes of England, as he lays out one betrayal after another - of the German people themselves, of the atrocities of the concentration camps and the torture and murder of Jews and Christians, of the annexation of Austria, and of the betrayal of the Czech Republic. Translated by H.T. Lowe-Porter. Bibliography. 38 pp.
