Title: I Accuse! (J' Accuse)
Description: New York, NY: Grosset & Dunlap, 1915. Hardcover. This book is in Very Good condition and is lacking a dust jacket. The book is in generally clean condition . There is a wrinkle to cloth of book cover that appears to be a publishing error - the wrinkle travels from front to back of the book cover - but doesn't affect the book in the slightest. There is a black smear to the front cover of the book. The text pages are generally clean, though there are occasional spots of foxing. The front inner spine hinge has cracked. There is a previous owner's inked name and note on the front endpaper, and an ink stamped name and address on the front pastedown page. "In 1915 Grelling wrote the anti-war book entitled J'Accuse, condemning the actions of Germany in causing the war through its foreign policies. The book was banned in Germany but was translated into many languages and enjoyed huge sales. Printed excerpts in the form of propaganda leaflets from its text were dropped by aircraft of the British Expeditionary Force into the Imperial German Army's trenches in France before the Battle of the Somme in 1916 in an endeavour to undermine the fighting morale of the German troops situated there.
