Fragments of a Political Diary

London: Macmillan and Co., Limited. Fine in Near Fine dj. 1930. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. [a lovely copy, with no discernible wear to the book at all; the jacket has some insignificant paper loss at several corners, some light smudging on the rear panel, and a tiny chip at the bottom of the rear panel, but is still remarkably good-looking for an uncoated jacket of that vintage]. (photo frontispiece portrait) "Dr. Baernreither, the late Austrian statesman, based this narrative largely on his own diaries. It comprises that part of his recollections which deals with the development of the South Slav question in Austro-Hungarian politics, and particularly with foreign policy in Central-Southern Europe in the years immediately preceding the World War. It is written with full knowledge and from a position of responsibility, and must therefore claim the attention of students, and all interested in the downfall of the Hapsburg Dynasty." Originally published in Berlin, 1928; NOTE that although the book bears the British imprint and copyright notice, the dust jacket is of the American issue. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
