In this provocative and penetrating work, Rebecca West examines the nature of betrayal through her coverage of the notorious British treason trials following World War II. With her uncompromising intellect and masterful prose, West delves into the lives and motivations of citizens who betrayed their country—from William Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw") who broadcast Nazi propaganda, to scientists who divulged atomic secrets. Beyond mere courtroom reporting, West explores the psychological, philosophical, and moral dimensions of treason, questioning what drives individuals to betray their homelands and what such betrayal reveals about the fragile bonds of national identity. As she dissects each case with surgical precision, West creates a profound meditation on loyalty, patriotism, and the complex relationship between the individual and the state. This landmark work transcends its historical moment to offer timeless insights into human nature and the precarious foundations of political allegiance in the modern world. The Meaning of Treason - Rebecca West: Published 1952, The Reprint Society Ltd, London Hardcover. Approx. 5x7.5in. 339pp. In decent vintage condition. Dustjacket has considerable wear on the top and bottom edges.
