I obtained the text from Gutenberg Australia. Being painfully aware that copyright laws differ from country to country I did a web search and came up with the following:

The following information is posted:

Media Type texts
Date 1939
Public Date 2007-08-06 02:30:38
Publisher Hurst & Blackett

I must admit that I am surprised that the document became part of the public domain only last August, I guess even a dictator and his henchmen have rights. And make no mistake James Murphy was a henchman. He worked in the Nazi Propaganda Ministry along with Goebbels.

I formatted the book with Adobe GoLive9 and converted the resulting HTML file to .lrf using libprs500. All of the work was done on a Macintosh. It took me an afternoon and and evening to complete the task. I had some difficulty in deciding what to do with the translators notes. I would appreciate any comment. I am a bit unhappy the the appearance of the title page but am just a bit too tired to work on it anymore this evening.

Thanks to Madam Broshkina for a suggestion that makes the book look quite a bit more professional!!

What was her suggestion?

The cover page

In the late Thirties a man by the name of ... Alan Simpson I believe (I have suuuch a bad memory) ... was astonished by what Hitler was planning; so he published the book in the U.S. to warn the American people. He was sued (I guess by Hitler) for copyright infringment and lost the case. In the Fifties or Sixties Simpson (or what ever his name was) became a U.S. Senator from California.

I'm sure many of the facts are wrong so please anybody feel free to correct me.

Sorry, I was wrong about the name: it was Alan Cranston. The info is here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Cranston
