The main purpose of this book is that the revelation of the process underlying the ostensibly national movement, a destructive process of revolution of a new and extreme type. This book was planned originally for the German reader, who involuntarily and, as a rule, in perfect good faith has suffered a tragic entanglement in that process. Much of the book was of little interest to the non German, and the book has accordingly been abridged. That its prognosis was well founded is shown by the fact that, though it was written mainly in the winter of 1937-38, and published shortly after the annexation of the Sudden territory, it has not been con tradicted by subsequent events in a single point. The pogroms of the winter of 1938 took place as forecast the developments in foreign policy up to the occupation of Prague are along the lines anticipated in these pages. The only substantial addition in this English version is on pages 292 to 306. This applies above all to the interpretation of Hitlers actual political aims and to the emphasis laid on his inability to produce any constructive peace policy. Many non Germans have insisted that the characterization of his policy as revolutionary imperialism is an exaggeration: that characterization has been justified before all the world in the past year. It is to be feared that the analysis in this book will be justified in other points by coming developments.
