First edition, first printing, a reiteration of the delusions about Hitler that Lewis had first presented in Hitler (1931), alongside a rejection of the Internationalism he had argued so firmly for in The Art of Being Ruled and would later espouse once more. Lewis afterwards dismissed the work as ‘quite unimportant … a violent reaction against Left-wing incitement to war’ (Rude Assignment).
