Vantage Press, New York - first edition ISBN:0533092493, 1991. hardcover, 6¼" x 9¼", with dust jacket. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stickers, pocket, barcode, stamps etc. Front jacket 'blurb' mounted on half-title page. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD price-clipped dust jacket. The author, a Jewish-Catholic native of Prague, was drawn to the peripheries of the Communist party whilst at high school. His story of life at the time of the holocaust is rich with detail painstakingly culled from letters and journals - his own and those of others. His audacious political activism, flight from Prague, re-entry, and subsequent immigration to Australia are recounted with intelligence, keen observation, and a refreshing lack of sentimentality.
