Description: The Open Society and Its Enemies: Volume I The Spell of Plato & Volume II The High Tide of Prophecy: Hegel, Marx, and the Aftermath by Karl Popper First edition, first printing in two volumes; Michael Howard's copy with copious handwritten notes 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.
