"Here for the first time are disclosed secrets of the Nazi regime which were only known to two people - Hitler and his friend Hoffmann. For more than twenty years Heinrich Hoffmann was Adolf Hitler's most intimate and trusted friend. They were inseparable from the days when Hitler was an unknown Munich rabble-rouser to the end in the bunkers of Berlin in 1945.

His position is unique for he not only lived through the most chaotic years in history as the Fuhrer's confidant - but is still alive to tell of them. Based upon personal knowledge rather than rumour and supposition Heinrich Hoffmann's story is one of the social documents of our time." - dust jacket. iv-xiv 15-256 pp. Over one-hundred black and white photos.

We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession our inheritance of European blood only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign races.

"Taking the Jews as his example MacDonald carefully traces their history in relation to the explicit theory that they have always followed certain practices that amounted to a definite eugenic policy as far as intelligence mainly verbal intelligence is concerned. MacDonald's work is a creative effort to write history along biological lines. Psychology could do with more such serious attempts to look at the development of psychological differences between groups in an original and creative manner." - Hans Eysenck. "MacDonald's study of the Jewish people in sociobiological perspective will not likely help his career for reasons having nothing to do with the author's scholarship or his accumulation of pertinent evidence. There is a shocking and brutal honestly shown by him in approaching this subject." - Paul Gottfried. Unread - still in original shrinkwrap. Presumably a first edition. Moderate corner wear.
