Description
This is a virtually mint copy of the rare First American edition (not BOMC) bound in blue (not BOMC red) cloth, with the even rarer dust jacket present, unclipped and priced at $3.00. There are several closed tears on the front face and spine, a bit of edge wear and fractional losses, including one-inch of loss across the spine. The contents are clean and unfoxed, with an intrusive vintage bookplate on the front pastedown. Else fine.
The book that told the world about the Holocaust, by a Polish underground fighter and Allied courier who actually infiltrated the Nazi death camps.
