The Meaning Of Treason
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: good, worn/faded. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
A landmark work of narrative non-fiction, The Meaning of Treason chronicles the post-World War II trials of British traitors, most notably William Joyce — the infamous Lord Haw-Haw — who broadcast Nazi propaganda to Britain during the war. Rebecca West, one of the twentieth century's most formidable literary and political minds, presents the courtroom drama with the precision of a legal scholar and the vivid storytelling of a seasoned journalist. She argues that the act of treason is not simply a legal transgression but a profound psychological and moral rupture — a betrayal of the very fabric of identity and belonging. This second enlarged and revised edition contains two additional chapters on atomic espionage, broadening its scope to encompass the chilling world of Cold War betrayal. Authoritative, gripping, and unflinching, West's account remains a definitive examination of loyalty, ideology, and conscience.
