The Open Society and Its Enemies: Volume I The Spell of Plato & Volume II The High Tide of Prophecy: Hegel, Marx, and the Aftermath (Michael Howard's annotated copy)

London: George Routledge & Sons, Ltd., 1945.

First edition. vii, 268; v, 352 p. Bound in publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering. Complete in two volumes. British historian and co-founder of the think tank International Institute for Strategic Studies Sir Michael Howard's copy with copious marginal annotations; most pages have his observations neatly penciled in their upper margins. His signature and bookplate are on each copy. Very Good overall, lacking jackets, foxing to edges.

An oft-cited defense of liberalism called "one of the great books of the century" by The Times of London. A nice association between two distinguished historians; while Popper is much better-known, Howard was called "Britain's greatest living historian" by the Financial Times and an expert on the subject of war. His handwritten insights on Popper's masterpiece should interest Cold War historians. Item #140944676
