Description:
J. B. Lippincott Company, 1941. First Edition. beige cloth, rope/mountaineering axe on cover design, paste title on spine, 334 pages, BnW photos. very good. This book has been written during the second year of the Second World War. Men, scanning their horizons, are not searching for the snowcaps of distant ranges but for the smoke of burning cities; their eyes are not raised to the challenge of great peaks but to the drone of bombing-planes above the clouds. A mountain today means an international boundary line, a gun emplacement, a hideout for guerilla bands. The Alps, towering above shattered Europe, are the Mountains of the Axis. Olympus, where the gods dwelt, flies the swastika. DP4.
