MELVILLE, Cecil F. The Russian Face of Germany. An Account of the Secret Military Relations Between the German and Soviet-Russian Governments. [London]: Wishart & Co. 1932.
8vo. Original cloth, dust-wrappers (not price-clipped); pp. viii, 230; wrapper a little discoloured and with minor marginal flaws; light toning to text; otherwise very good.
First edition, second impression, very rare. This book exposes the secret re-armament of Weimar Germany in clandestine co-operation with the Red Army. German heavy industry and the Schwarze Reichswehr, right-wing paramilitary organisations, contravened the Versailles Treaty, trained in the Soviet Union, and supplied the Soviets with arms.
We were able to locate only two copies in US libraries, at Stanford (Hoover Institution), and at San Francisco Public Library.
