8vo. (Front hinge starting at title.) Original gray buckram lettered in black and red, top edge stained red; in unrestored unclipped dust jacket (horizontal scuff mark on front panel, few tiny nicks to head and fore-corners).
FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. In 1933, this work as well as many others that were deemed "un-German" by the Nazi Party, were banned and burned publicly for the representation of German soldiers as disillusioned and the perceived negative portrayal of Germany.
[With:] publisher's prospectus laid in.
