Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. IT'S ALL POLITICS, Lewis Abrahams, 20 illustrations by political cartoonist Fred L. Packer, hardcover, first edition and first printing [per Samuel Curl custom of indicating only later editions and printings], 1944. BOOK CONDITION: very good. The text blo…ck is in near fine condition with no dogears or tears and only 4-5 marginal asterisks on several pages. The pages are age-toned. There is no book plate nor signature of prior owner. Not a remainder or library book. The dark blue cloth boards are in good condition (bumped spine top and bottom, slight edge wear on bottom). The dust jacket is in fair condition (chipping along edges, faded spine, age-toning and discoloration). 8 x 5 ½, 306 pages, 17 ounces XX Written directly to the average citizen — the "sleeping giant' —who by his voice controls the functioning and the future of American democracy, It's All Politics presents a provocative and trenchant analysis of the workings of American politics today. It is a challenge to every citizen to wake up and think—to become politically aware of the importance of his franchise and to understand the motives and methods of those self-seeking interests scheming constantly to rob him of the sacred right to a voice in his government. Mr. Abrahams shows that an alarming percentage of citizens remain political babes-in-the-wood, at the mercy of unscrupulous bosses who are both past masters and makers of political science. Examples from our not-too-distant political history show how dishonest bosses and their henchmen have consistently cheated and stolen from the people their voting rights, the safeguards of their liberty. Mr. Abrahams cites from our own political record the flagrancy with which crooked politicians constantly serve big business in attaining illegal ends. He shows the powerful influence politicians wield on behalf of those seeking legislation or other favors on their behalf. Scores of special interest groups spend millions of dollars through highly paid lobbyists to obtain special privileges, yet conspicuous by its absence is any militant group to speak out for the taxpayer, for the good of the country as a whole. Chapters on the power of money in our elective system, on the power and influence of money in electing judges to the bench, and twelve biographical sketches of notorious political bosses are included. For each boss who rose from poverty to tremendous wealth and influence, as all did, the American public—the politically uninformed voter—paid. Long interested in the realistic functioning of the American political party system, LEWIS ABRAHAMS, New York lawyer, several years ago began specializing in election laws. Finding confusion even among lawyers and judges as to the laws regulating crimes committed against the elective franchise—crimes directly affecting, often negating, votes of thousands of citizens—Mr. Abrahams wrote a number of articles for law journals and three books upon the subject. Packer, Fred L. (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: New. In the early 1990s, Albania, arguably Europe's most closed and repressive state, began a startling transition out of forty years of self-imposed Communist isolation. Albanians who were not allowed to practice religion, travel abroad, wear jeans, or read "decadent" Western literature began to devour the… outside world. They opened cafés, companies, and newspapers. Previously banned rock music blared in the streets. Modern Albania offers a vivid history of the Albanian Communist regime's fall and the trials and tribulations that led the country to become the state it is today. The book provides an in-depth look at the Communists' last Politburo meetings and the first student revolts, the fall of the Stalinist regime, the outflows of refugees, the crash of the massive pyramid-loan schemes, the war in neighboring Kosovo, and Albania's relationship with the United States. Fred Abrahams weaves together personal experience from more than twenty years of work in Albania, interviews with key Albanians and foreigners who played a role in the country's politics since 1990-including former Politburo members, opposition leaders, intelligence agents, diplomats, and founders of the Kosovo Liberation Army-and a close examination of hundreds of previously secret government records from Albania and the United States. A rich, narratively-driven account, Modern Albania gives readers a front-row seat to the dramatic events of the last battle of Cold War Europe.
