Genre: World War I History / European Political History / Historical Biography
Description:
A scarce first English-language edition of Hitler: Born at Versailles by Léon Degrelle, published in October 1987 by the Institute for Historical Review. This substantial 535-page hardcover is Volume I of the projected Hitler Century series and retains its original illustrated dust jacket.
The book presents Degrelle’s highly revisionist and controversial interpretation of the political, military, and diplomatic forces surrounding World War I, the Treaty of Versailles, and the conditions that contributed to Adolf Hitler’s rise. Subjects include the prewar European balance of power, Sarajevo assassination, Allied and German wartime propaganda, Woodrow Wilson and Colonel Edward M. House, the Russian Revolution, Bolshevism, Lenin, Lawrence of Arabia, the Lusitania, Passchendaele, Verdun, postwar diplomacy, and the Versailles settlement.
Degrelle writes from the perspective of a former Belgian political leader, wartime collaborator, and German military volunteer. His interpretations remain heavily disputed and should be understood as the author’s personal ideological and historical viewpoint rather than neutral scholarship. As a primary-source example of postwar historical revisionism, the volume will interest researchers and collectors studying World War I historiography, interwar Europe, political propaganda, extremist movements, and the continuing struggle over historical memory.
First English-language edition, October 1987. Hardcover with original dust jacket. ISBN 0-939484-25-0. The main text concludes on page 535 and includes photographic illustrations. The black hardcover itself is exceptionally clean and well preserved, with a firm binding and clean interior pages. No writing, highlighting, or ownership markings were observed. The dust jacket remains bright and attractive but shows minor handling wear, creasing, and several short tears and small chips concentrated along the upper edge and corners, as clearly photographed. Overall, a very clean and handsome copy of this difficult-to-find edition. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition.
