THE POLITICIAN.
pp. xvi, 300, (xvii-cxlviii)[Epilogue, Bibliography, Footnotes]. 8vo. Original full black glossy wraps. Spiral bound. A study of American political response to Communism and One Worlders, supported by a large documentary apparatus. Written by the founder of the John Birch Society, this is a classic attack on President Eisenhower. The case is made that, while not exactly a card-carrying member of the Communist Party, his policies certainly aided and abetted the International Communist Conspiracy every bit as much as did those of his immediate Democratic predecessors.
