Paperback. Condition: Very Good. David Low (illustrator). A smart duplicate uncorrected proof copy of this satirical speculative novel based on Adolf Hitler, with illustrations throughout. Duplicate proof for retention, does not contain proof reader's marks. Illustrated throughout. A speculative novel in which the author imagines Adolf Hitler flying to Britain to propose peace, only to have the government allow him to return in light of the awkward diplomatic quandary he placed them in. The novel proved bizarrely prescient in 1941 when Hitler's Deputy, Rudolf Hess, did that exact excursion into Britain. Written by Robert Peter Fleming, a British adventurer, journalist, soldier and travel writer. He was the older brother of Ian Fleming, the creator of the character James Bond. Illustrated by Sir David Alexander Cecil Low, a New Zealand political cartoonist and caricaturist who lived and worked in the United Kingdom. In the original blue paper wraps. Externally, smart with minor wear to the extremities and a crease to the front board. Sunning to the spine and extremities with the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd spot or handling mark. Very Good. book.
