Inside Europe: Revised Illustrated Edition (1937) By John Gunther

 

The appearance of this book has marked a new departure in publishing history. For the first time, a publisher and an author have collaborated to keep a book on current events as completely up-to-date as the events themselves. When Inside Europe first appeared, Edward VIII had just mounted the throne, the Spanish revolution was unheard of, the Front Populaire was still struggling for power in France, the re-armament of the Rhine existed only in the minds of Germany's war lords. Yet today your copy of Inside Europe covers fully the development of every one of these situations. As the European front changes, Gunther writes a new interpretation, the publishers reset and reprint- and Inside Europe remains the one complete up-to-the-minute book on the subject." (from back cover) The famous contemporary account of Europe & its leaders on the eve of World War II by John Gunther (1901-1970), the great & prolific American journalist & author.

 

Among the many works in Gunther's "Inside..." series that were acclaimed in their time & which have of late received increased critical respect & study, particularly Inside U.S.A. (1947). Gunther is perhaps most known for Death Be Not Proud (1949), about the tragic early death of his son Johnny (which we have all read during middle or high school). First published in 1936, this "New and Revised Edition" of 1937 catches up to the many important developments that occurred on the fast-moving European scene in the two years since it first appeared. With fascinating, detailed portraits of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin & many less infamous but critical figures in Europe as it sped toward Germany's setting off the worst conflagration, the world has yet seen.
