The echos still being heard today, this book examines the rise and continued march of fascist power in the years leading up to World War II with the fall of Vienna and the taking of Austria. "The climax of the story is an hour-by-hour description of how, on the weekend of March 11-13, 1938, Hitler and Goering between them 'took over an independent country by telephone, for the first and probably the last time in history.'" Gordon Brook-Shepherd (1918-2004) was an intelligence officer, journalist and historian, writing about World War I, the interwar years and on European topics. Unclipped dust jacket, chipping. Rubbing and bumping. Foxing to top pages. Black canvas boards with red spine.
