A NOTE ON THE AUTHOR

David Clay Large, professor of history at Montana State University, is a specialist in modern German history. Among his books are Germans to the Front: West German Rearmament in the Adenauer Era; Where Ghosts Walked: Munich’s Road to the Third Reich; and Between Two Fires: Europe’s Path in the 1930s. He divides his time between Bozeman, Montana, and San Francisco, California.

A NOTE ON THE TYPE

This book was typset in Caslon 540, a typeface derived from William Caslon’s eighteenth century types. The popularity of these types led to a practically endless range of Caslon copies; among them Caslon 540, from American Type Founders in 1902, and Caslon 3, a slightly bolder face also from ATF in 1905, which was later modified for use with Intertype and Linotype technologies. Both designs have the warm, solid, straightforward style that has made Caslon popular for over 200 years; these Caslons, however, have shorter descenders, and higher contrast, features that enable them to hold up better with the faster presses and the new varieties of paper introduced at the turn-of-the-century.
