Text entirely in English. Organ of the American student arm of the Iranian People's Fedayee Fedai Guerrillas an Iranian guerrilla communist group that opposed both Western capitalism and the 1979 Islamic Revolution the latter chiefly from exile. This group is not to be confused with the Organization of Iranian People's Fedai Guerrillas from which the IPFG split in 1979 citing the former's lack of dedication to the principles of armed struggle. The magazine's contents are a combination of attacks on Iran's "imperialist" Islamic regime and on the foreign policy of the United States which the organization blames for laying the foundation for the Islamic revolution beginning with the CIA coup of 1953. A rare publication from a key period in modern Iranian history before the Islamic Republic had irrevocably consolidated power.

1960réf. 2275Fullerton California: Education Information Inc. 1960. First Edition. Small Quarto 10 5/8 x 8 1/4 inches; 271 x 212 mm 21 pages in stapled illustrated wrappers A "second report on modern art" issued by Education Information Inc. an Orange County California anti-communist outfit. The main highlight: the purported minutes of a Communist cell comprising artists and writers: "PROGRAM: Remove all inspiring and beautiful art from all exhibits and substitute degenerate art in its place.Keep rational art out of all public exhibits -- allow only empty or distorted art to be shown in museums dealers' exhibits.Tie junk together and set it up as sculpture." There's plenty more in this vein. The woman who took these notes -- "a friend of truth and decency" -- supposedly mailed them to the right-wing sculptor Wheeler Williams who was active in anticommunist politics. Williams provides a Foreword to the notes saying he believes they're authentic. He says he shared the notes with colleagues and some former FBI undercover agents all of whom apparently believe the notes are genuine. Also in this pamphlet are articles on "subversion in art" lengthy excerpts from Williams's testimony to Congress on the Soviet uses of art and a piece by E. Merrill Root on conservative philosophy. This pamphlet is scarce. OCLC records around a dozen institutional holdings. SCARCE. CONDITION: Vertical fold throughout original mailing label and partially removed tape to lower wrapper extremities worn from handling staples a bit rusted. Otherwise Very Good.
