8vo., First English Edition, some very light offsetting from fold-ins to free endpapers; original blue cloth, backstrip lettered in yellow, yellow top, a very good, bright, clean copy in price-clipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly browned on (predominantly white) rear panel.
With the erratum slip facing Contents. Felix Kersten was personal physician to Himmler and close to many of the Nazi leadership and these journals of meetings and conversations, the majority written on the spot, make fascinating reading. Towards the end of the war he was responsible for saving many thousands of Dutchmen, Germans, Norwegians, Danes and Jews from his employer's clutches. Very scarce in this condition, especially in the dustwrapper. Enser, p.266.
