Title: No translator mentioned
Review: I read the 1957 reprint of 1952 edition. Paperback. No translator is mentioned and this gives the impression that the book might have been written in English by Shaeffer himself. But reader remains in doubt.Monsarrat's introduction (is he also the translator??)is out of place and unprofessional. We are trying to look at things from German point of view and this guy finds it an occasion to give us another dose of the victor's ramblings.The book finishes leaving the reader in want of a few more paragraphs of information on author's life after war, but all that's given is one sentence. I wished there were later books by Schaeffer one could read but as far as I know this is the only one he wrote.
Is the review positive or negative?
