BEHIND GOD'S BACK.
Edition: First US printing.
New York: Harcourt Brace & Company, (1941) dj. Hardcover first edition - A coast-to-coast trip across Africa from Dar-es-Salaam in Tanganyika to Duala in the French Cameroons - an account of both the rigors of the trip, but also a picture of an emerging modern Africa - and of a region which the author realized would be important during World War II. Rather uncommon US edition of a book which had already (as noted on the dj) gone thru 9 printings in England. The author was an American but also an Anglophile. 555 pp. Map endpapers.
Condition: Fair condition only (from a circulating library) with one tape repair to the binding, tape ghosts to the green cloth covers, in a poor dustjacket with extensive tape reinforcements to the interior, edgewear and more.
