First Edition, octavo hardcover in original dust jacket. Incredibly scarce novel about police brutality against homosexuals in Los Angeles, by the president of the Institute of Psychological Research and Education, a nonprofit organization devoted to helping � sexual deviants.� Little known of Allen, his work, or those he� s helped, apart from tidbits about the subsequent 1973 film Allen wrote directed and starred in. Gay and lesbian communities in Los Angeles rose after counterculture of the 1960s, Haight-Ashbury, Sunset Strip riots, and Stonewall, and set the scene for numerous organizations in the AIDS fueled 1980s. Early documents like Allen� s on police violence are foundational to understanding what� s happening today, especially here in Baltimore. Very Good Plus in like jacket. Light rubbing and toning, endpapers with offsetting, brief foxing, and jacket with rubbing, toning, foxing, a few small tears and tiny chips. Seller Inventory # 127031
