GOOD CONDITION - NO RESERVE - LOW OPENING BID!!!
This auction is for a superb vintage hardback edition entitled “Shipwreck of a Generation,” subtitled “The Memoirs of Joseph Berger,” by Joseph Berger, with a photographic frontispiece portrait of the author taken just after his release from the Siberian Tayshet labour camp.
It was published by Harvill, in or after 1970 (date of epilogue).
Joseph Berger, a founder of the Palestine Communist Party and a prominent figure in the Komintern, is the senior political personage ever to have emerged alive from Stalin’s camps. Charged with being a Trotskyist agitator he spent over 21 years in several Soviet prisons and camps including Siberia, and on the Mongolian frontier, and in though sentenced to death twice, he managed to survive.
The contents include:
· Writers
· Communists
· Trotskyists
· Bukharin and His School
· Mensheviks
· Clerics
· Young Rebels
· The Post-Stalin Years
...and more...
The book measures 8.75 inches x 5.75 inches.
The 286 pages are neat and a little faded with age (bump/light crease to top corner of the first few pages). The binding is very good with no loose pages (the title page is torn out/missing). The book is a former vintage library book with the usual stamps and stickers (including “withdrawn” on the blank page at the front).
The original hardback cover is in good condition for its age, having been largely protected by the dust-jacket. The dust-jacket is in good condition for its age, and has not been price-clipped. There is evidence of removal of vintage clear tape/stickers on the cover, endpapers and bottom of the spine of the dust-jacket. The gold on the spine is very good.
A good reading copy of this wonderful vintage edition – the starting price is just ONE PENNY, with NO RESERVE, and I WILL SELL to the highest bidder.
I am more than happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases and cost will be determined on the total weight of your wins (see below for costs and full details).

...and a give-away starting price...
