Description

xii, 196 pages. Text in English, translated from the French. Tissue-protected frontis portrait of author, who was Ex-Deputy at the Reichstag and in the Alsace-Lorraine Chamber. Seven additional black and white plates. "The more I reflect on what I observed and heard, both at Berlin and Strassburg, the more I confess to myself that we were, with a few exceptions, stricken with blindness in not seeing the big thunder clouds (of WWI] gathering on the horizon. That is the reason why I have decided to set down whatever events in my political past seem to me to present retrospective interest." - Foreword. Endpapers heavily toned with a few small markings. Binding intact. Above-average wear to publisher's salmon cloth. Dust jacket not included. Light scent of cigarette smoke. A worthy reading copy. Book
