[Back Creek Books]

Greetings Booklovers,

We are pleased to offer:
~
(No. 8600 )  Fuller, J[ohn]. F[rederick]. C[harles]. (1878-1966). DAS
PROBLEM EUROPA: EINE UNTERSUCHUNG ÜBER VERFALL UND RETTUNG DER WELT [COVER:
EIN ENGLISCHER SOLDAT ÜBER DEN SINN DES KRIEGES].
Berlin-Leipzig: Nibelungen Verlag, 1944. Wrappers, Octavo, 32 pages. Near
Fine.
      Strange and scarce German propaganda pamphlet in which British Major
General Fuller treats the Germans to his sense of World War II. According to
Fuller, Germany has the chance to show the world's economies how to save
themselves from the "Jewish infection" of usury, calling the German people
the "storm troop of the new world" in this regard. General J. F. C. Fuller
was a brilliant British military strategist but became discontented with
democracy after his ideas on mechanized warfare went unappreciated in
England following World War I. He became very active with Oswald Moseley in
the British Union of Fascists party, which had as one of its stated goals to
break the power of Jews in Britain. In Germany, meanwhile, Fuller's tank
warfare theories were fully appreciated by Guderian and Rommel and formed
the foundation of Nazi blitzkrieg tactics. I have found no example of this
particular work of Fuller's in English. It was originally published in
Germany in 1940, presumably with Fuller's blessing. One wonders how he felt
about it by the time this one was published in 1944, or if he was aware of
it. Saddle-stapled binding with printed paper covers. Minor edge wear, light
browning to textblock and edges of covers. Rear cover has a 1/2" tear at
bottom binding staple.    $100.00
