Raymond Recouly - Two Letters in his handwriting and his book Fascist Italy. France, 1934 - First edition
- Italie Fasciste - A Description of Italy and its Fascist Regime by War Correspondent and Journalist Raymond Recouly who Toured Italy Between the World Wars, B. Arthaud Print, France 1934 - First Edition. A copy printed on green paper. Accompanied by photo plates.
- Two personal letters in Recouly's handwriting and signature dated August and November 1937.
Recouly's book, written between the two wars, describes Italy and its cities under the Fascist rule of Mussolini, and Italy's relations with Hitler's Germany and the persecution of Jews. He attempts to predict whether Italy would join Germany in a future war and how far it would go with its Fascist views. He also illustrates from everyday life how the Fascist regime was actually bad for Italian citizens in all aspects (contrary to what their leaders claimed).
Raymond Recouly [1876-1950] was a French journalist and war correspondent, and political editor of the newspaper "Le Temps". In the 1920s and 1930s he headed the General Association of Students in Paris. Between the wars Raymond Recouly sometimes signed under the pseudonym of Jean Levy and continued his collaboration with the french L'Illustration, which began in 1908, he made many tours around the world and published a series of works dealing with war and the French general Ferdinand Foch. During World War II he published "The reasons for our downfall" - his last book.
