Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. (pictorial cloth; no dust jacket) [moderately shelfworn, slight puckering of cloth along right edge of front cover, lower front corner bumped and slightly fraying, one-time owner's "property of" statement inked on front endpaper So you thought bogus "voter fraud" claims were a recent invention? Check out this novelized indictment of U.S. immigration policy, specifically what was alleged to be the massively corrupt practice of selling fake naturalization papers. A Publishers' Note lays it out, with a clarity of purpose (and prejudice) that would do Stephen Miller proud: "There are thirteen million voters in the United States. Of these thirteen million voters, five million are of foreign extraction, and of these five million, one million five hundred thousand are fraudulent." The novel traces the voter-fraud career of one Giovanni Del Veccio, allegedly based on a real person, with the facts "deviated from but slightly," and the author makes it pretty clear in his opening paragraphs what he thinks of Italians: after a description of the boy's upbringing in the Old Country, where his own mother tells him that "to make people fear you is better than to make them love you," this statement appears: "The seeds sown in those Italian evenings took root in rich soil, and awaited only the development of his nature to bring forth their fruit, in hatred, vengeance, treachery, and murder." The author is described as "one who was for many years in the service of the Government in a high and confidential capacity, and every statement herein is based on unquestionable fact. (An Appendix contains six pages of footnotes, citing documents and other sources woven into the narrative.) The author occasionally injects himself into the goings-on, usually as a character referred to as "Silent Scudder" -- inappropriately named, given that most of his function seems to be to shoot his mouth off at the meetings of some ill-defined "Organization" that's supposed to be investigating this whole matter, but of course is part of the whole rotten system. ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
