Memoirs of the fascist Hungarian admiral and politician Miklós Horthy, who served as regent of Hungary during the interwar period and for most of World War II during which he allied with Nazi Germany and oversaw the genocide of Hungary's Jewish population. Due to his opposition to communism, Horthy's Nazi allegiance is glossed over in Nicholas Roosevelt's introduction, referring to the fascist leader as "a gallant man who fought hopelessly but bravely." Copy is in very good condition, verging on near fine. Absolutely minimal wear to the dark blue cloth boards. Interior is clean and unmarked with a solid, tight binding. Dust jacket is good with some creasing and a bit of chipping around the edges. Now wrapped in protective Brodart jacket cover.
