Description: 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].

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.
