DJ has some wear and soiling. From an obituary of the author found on-line: "His scholarship covered a vast geographical field, from the United States and Latin America to Asia and Europe. It also displayed his numerous authorial talents. To read, say, his first book on Czechoslovakia under the Nazis, The Killing of SS Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich (1989), is to be in the hands of a gifted diplomatic and military historian as well as a sensitive biographer of human diversity: the notorious and the hapless, the brave, the unsung and the innocent. Yet these wide-ranging interests and skills were united in many ways. All of his work is distinguished by a seemingly effortless marriage of chronology, thematics and analysis, a clarity never purchased at the expense of complexity, and a mastery of sources which engenders confidence in discussions of sometimes controversial issues.

New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1932. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. [2], 251,[1] pages. Pencil notations throughout. Several pages soiled, Boards and spine worn. Several tears at spine and,spine discolored. The contents are: Bolshevik Coup d'etat and Trotsky's Tactics; A Coup d'etat that failed Trotsky vs. Stalin; 1920 Poland's Experience Order Reigns in Warsaw; Kapp or Mars vs. Marx; Bonaparte--On the First Modern Coup d'etat; Primo de Rivera and Pilsudski A courtier and a Socialist General; Mussolini; and A Would-be Dictator Hitler. In this very scarce work, Malaparte is the first writer to describe the modern coup d'etat. Curzio Malaparte (9 June 1898 – 19 July 1957), born Curt Erich Suckert, was an Italian writer, film-maker, war correspondent and diplomat. Malaparte is best known outside Italy due to his works Kaputt and La pelle. The former is a semi-fictionalized account of the Eastern Front during the Second World War and the latter is an account focusing on morality in the immediate post-war period of Naples. During the 1920s, Malaparte was one of the intellectuals who supported the rise of Italian fascism and Benito Mussolini, through the magazine 900. Despite this, Malaparte had a complex relationship with the National Fascist Party and was stripped of membership in 1933 for his independent streak. Arrested numerous times, he had Casa Malaparte created in Capri where he lived under house arrest. After the Second World War, he became a film maker and moved closer to both Togliatti's Italian Communist Party and the Catholic Church, reputedly becoming a member of both before his death. More
