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.
