290pp. Portrait plate frontispiece, showing Hindenburg. Light brown cloth covered boards with black lettering (strong, square, sharp, just a tad rounded at spine ends). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring a hint of toning to text block edges. In its original edge bumped and spine sunned dust jacket (small, repaired tear on upper leading corner). An authoritative study of Hindenburg, showing how his career developed, and how he became a hero and a legend, returning from retirement to military activity twice, the victor of Tannenburg and the English legend of Hindenburg as a dominant influence in post-war German politics. That neither legend is true is the extraordinary paradox of his career, and yet he became President of the German Republic.
