I Was Hitler's Doctor (Boar's Head Edition)

"The most shocking story every placed before the non-medical reader,'' it offers a physical & psychoanalytical examination of Adolf Hitler by the doctor who treated him for syphilis & impotence beginning in 1919. Written from his new home in New York City following his escape from Germany as he watched with horror as his former patient waged war in Europe & assembled his Nazi cult of personality around him, it is a most fascinating expose of the man behind the madness in Nazi Germany. Translated from the original German, with a Foreword by author Upton Sinclair, Introduction by Otto Strasser, & Preface by K. Arvid Enlind, M.D. In 322 pages with glossy pictorial frontispiece. Orig. published in 1941 by Avalon, this is the Boar's Head edition from 1952, with the extremely-racy-for-its-time stamped image of a nude female to front board. Octavo(5.75" x 8.5") has orange cloth over boards with the image & spine lettering in black. Condition is VG+: very clean & bright, binding straight & strong, hinges secure. Heavy tanning & offsetting to endpapers, with old gift inscriptions to ffep; interior pages more moderately tanned & completely unmarked. Mild corner bumping & rubbing. The unclipped DJ (with orig. $2.98 price) is VG-, with rubbing to extremities, spine fading, & a few tiny chips/creases; nicely protected in new clear mylar cover free!
