This satirical and controversial 1938 comedy takes an irreverent look at global politics – at a time when Europe was teetering on the brink of the Second World War. A German Jew arrives in Geneva, Switzerland, hoping to find answers to what is happening in his country. He starts an avalanche of events culminating in a judge presiding over a hearing at the Court of International Justice at The Hague, with Hitler and Mussolini in attendance. This interesting and thought-provoking play will appeal to fans and collectors of Shaw’s seminal work, and it would make for a great addition to any collection. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
