It is one of the commonplaces of history that adverse circumstances offer no obstacle to men of outstanding energy and ability. Douglas Reed, who described himself as "relatively unschooled", started out in life as an office boy at the age of thirteen and he was a bank clerk at nineteen before enlisting at the outbreak of World War I. A less promising preparation for a man destined to be one of the most brilliant political analysts and descriptive writers of the century could hardly be imagined. He was already 26 years old when he reached the London Times in 1921 as a telephonist and clerk; and he was 30 when he finally reached journalism as sub-editor. Three years later he became assistant Times corespondent in Berlin before moving on to Vienna as Chief Central European corespondent. Reed broke with the Times in October 1943, near the time of the appearance of a book which was to win him instant world fame: INSANITY FAIR, a charming combination of autobiography and contemporary history. This was followed by more best sellers in quick succession. Commencing in 1951, Douglas Reed spent more than three years writing THE CONTROVERSY OF ZION - all 300,000 words of it. He completed the epilogue in 1956. Although there is correspondence to show that the book was once discussed with his publisher, the manuscript was never submitted, but remained for 22 years stowed away in Reed's home in Durban, South Africa. The question remains. Why?

Controversy of Zion

Concordia Pub. House

Ever controversial, Douglas Reed delves into the sinister forces behind world unrest and revolution. The Controversy of Zion, can speak for itself; indeed, it is a work of revisionist history and religious exposition the central message of which is revealed in almost every page, understanding and compassionate of people but severely critical of the inordinate and dangerous ambitions of their leaders.

Douglas Reed (1895-1976), kanske mest känd för sitt huvudverk The Controversy of Zion, var under mellankrigstiden korrespondent för The Times i Berlin och senare Wien. Hans böcker översattes till flera språk, bland annat svenska. Han observerade, och skrev ärligt om, de judiska attityder och strategier som ledde fram till Andra världskriget. Trots att han starkt ogillade Tredje riket och nationalsocialismen, vilket gör hans iakttagelser i det avseendet desto mer intressanta. Den här volymen innehåller utdrag från hans bok Disgrace Abounding, som publicerades precis före krigsutbrottet. Den är inte bara ett viktigt tidsdokument, utan även relevant för vår förståelse av tiden sedan dess och vad som har lett fram till dagens världspolitiska situation.

INSANITY FAIR by DOUGLAS REED. PUBLISHERS NOTE: DOUGLAS REED was living in Vienna in 1937 and in the beginning of 1938 when he wrote this book. While the book was in the press the storm broke. The publishers could easily have edited the chapters on Austria to recognize changes already accomplished. But by this means much of the vividness of the authors first hand account of the last days of Austrian independence would have been lost. Douglas Reeds moving narrative of his presentiments of disaster would have been lost. Therefore the chapter on Austria No. 32 was allowed to stand as it was written. All but the lt four paragraphs of it was written before events began to move and this part shows how clearly the author felt the suspense that layover the country and shared the anxiety of its inhabitants. The last four paragraphs of Chapter 32 were written after von Schuschnigg visited Hitler at Berchtes gaden, and these paragraphs show equally clearly that Douglas Reed then immediately recognized the end of Austria to be imminent. It came a month later, and Chapters 44, 45, 46 and 47 which were incorporated after the second impression describe how it happened. In these chapters the reader sees a sound prediction, based on knowledge and ex perience, come true.
