Overseas Programme, and extensively quoted in the press. Sir Robert is Chief Diplomatic Adviser to the British Government, but in his introduction he describes himself as "a working diplomatist with his coat off."' --- 'these talks are designed to show that the German has not really altered since Tacitus' day.' --- 'His indictment is not merely propaganda: it is based upon wide scholarship, first-hand experience and the conviction of many years.; (Quote taken from the back cover) ***'Robert Gilbert Vansittart, 1st Baron Vansittart, GCB, GCMG, MVO, PC (25 June 1881 - 14 February 1957), known as Sir Robert Vansittart between 1929 and 1941, was a senior British diplomat in the period before and during the Second World War. He was Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister from 1928 to 1930 and Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office from 1930 to 1938 and later served as Chief Diplomatic Adviser to the British Government. He is best remembered for his opposition to appeasement and his strong stance against Germany both during and after the Second World War. His 1941 book, "Black Record: Germans Past and Present", led to the coining of the term Vansittartism, a doctrine holding that Germans were incorrigibly violent and militaristic throughout their history. Vansittart was also a published poet, novelist and playwright. "Black Record: Germans Past and Present was presented by Vansittart in a series of seven broadcasts by the BBC World Service. The book's central argument is the assertion that Nazi Germany represented a continuation, not an exception, of German history, which was, since at least the time of the 17th century Prussian kings, characterized by "training in militarism" that sought "inevitable expansion in Europe and then world-domination." Public reaction to the book varied widely'. (Wiki) ***A nice clean example of a scarce wartime propaganda pamphlet, albeit with the covers detached from the staples. An uncommon and interesting piece of ephemera published during the Second World War. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
