After his death from peritonitis, the diaries were edited and censored, possibly by his widow. The complete surviving diaries were destroyed, for reasons unknown, by an elderly niece who owned them, except for volumes which had been given to other people, while the original transcription was destroyed by fire in the Blitz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated throughout with monochrome images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eNew with only light wear\/mark on cover due storage.
