Description
This is one of the most controversial books of the 20th Century. Published in English in 1940 by the Nazi Foreign Office under the direction of Ribbentrop, this volume was a key part of the attempt by the National Socialists to convince a sceptical world that there was a real justification for the use of force against Poland. These criminal acts would be condemned by any right thinking person and cannot be condoned under any circumstances. They do not represent a justification for World War II and their use in this manner by the Nazi Foreign Office sadly detracts from the real human suffering of these long forgotten victims of injustice. This nonetheless remains an important book as, coming from such an unexpected source, this sobering volume remains a stark warning from history and cautions that we must remain ever vigilant for genocidal maniacs of every political persuasion.
