Joseph Goebbels - Dagboek van Joseph Goebbels. Ingeleid en van aantekeningen voorzien door Dr. Louis P. Lochner. Nederlandse vertaling en bewerking van Mr. C. van Rij, Raadsheer bij het Bijzonder Gerechtshof Amsterdam - Amsterdam - N.V. Internationale Uitgeversmij Het Wereldvenster - 1948 - 1st edition - xii, 528 pp - Cloth binding with dust jacket - 16 x 21,5 cm.

Condition: Good - COMPLETE with the dust jacket (restored - see below).

Dutch translation of the diaries of Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945); Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister. With index. Hardback first edition (1st-25th thousand). [Translation of the promotional text on the cover]: "A horrifying book. A warning to this and future generations. The writing on the wall that every sane person should take note of."

¶ The book comes with a dust jacket with a caricatural drawing of Goebbels depicted as a kind of white shark, created by Koen van Os. Perhaps it is precisely because of that terrifying portrait that the dust jacket has become rare, people did not want to look at it for too long?

With this copy the dust jacket - although damaged and worn with tears - has been preserved. It was professionally restored in the best possible way by master binder Hans Zegveld and now protected in (removable) acid-free Brodart cover.
