About this Item

Very Good+ in Fair Dust Jacket. Inscribed by author on free front endpaper: "To Professor [ ] with expressions of friendship and esteem. Witold S. Sworakowski Stanford, June 21 1972". The first printed bibliographical reference work on the Communist International and six of its most active front organizations. Over 2300 titles of books and pamphlets are listed. Appendices, Index. A valuable work, not least from a sociological perspective, as it is exemplative of the paranoid xenophobia that was--and continues to be--rife among American institutions, with Stanford and The Hoover Institution here further contributing to their long standing tradition of purveying an insidious philosophy of fear and ignorance. Green cloth with gilt titling on spine. Covers show mild wear/age, with darkening along front bottom edge. Dust Jacket is damp stained, soiled, and damaged, with large section missing at front bottom right corner. Just a touch of play to binding. Interior is clean, crisp, bright, other than author's signature unmarked. 493 pp. Approx. 7.5" x 10.5". A very nice copy and an excellent addition to your library. Signed copies of this work are very scarce. Carefully shipped in secure parcel. Ask all questions; glad to respond.
