Internally clean. Bookplate of Phillip G. Fox to front pastedown clearly a home made design and almost certainly that of Professor Phillip G. Fox of the University of Wisconsin who was a professor of business administration with an almost obsessive interest in slot machines and the mathematics of gambling payouts. The bookplate has been composed as a piece of typewriter art centered on a complex mathematical equation; bookdealers aren't necessarily terribly mathematically adept so the solution will have to be found by the next owner of the book. Packer's preoccupation here is centred around which of the regularly used official methods for interrogating communists and building information on their activities is the most efficient and successful; court trials admisnitrative hearins or Congressional investigations. There is an interesting corollary in that he is compelled to analyze whether or not Communism is in fact subversive but the answer to that shouldn't probably shouldn't get in the way of a good system for governments to control their citizens.

1937réf. 40520San Francisco: Educational Committee San Francisco Communist Party N.d. ca 1937. First Edition. Corner-stapled mimeographed typescript 36cm x 22cm; 6pp printed recto-only. Toning corner creases and general wear; still a complete Good or better example. Dated from text. Rather remarkable Popular Front document prepared by Manuilsky as Deputy General Secretary of the Comintern and clearly oriented toward American Party members as the majority of the text deals with the resurgent economic crisis in the U.S. Though the title of the paper might suggest a style sheet or compositional outline the document in fact is a list of rather explicit instructions to American Party members on how to interpret contemporary world events in the light of current Soviet doctrine the general upshot being that the American economic crisis the rise of European fascism revolution in China and the increasing militancy of the Japanese are all symptoms of the collapse of capitalism and the ". growing resistance of the working class and the toiling masses against the onslaught of the fascist powers!" Evidence of Moscow's direct influence on the CPUSA during this period is hardly necessary to prove a point but this document provides a neat example of precisely how that influence was directed and executed. Unrecorded in this format though a similar document was published in Los Angeles in 1946 per OCLC; this printing clearly much earlier based on text.

1962réf. 84966New york: Doubleday 1962. First Edition. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's russet cloth titled in black to spine. Dustjacket. 359pp. Light wear to board edges and spine ends; internally clean fore-edge untrimmed; in a clean bright example of the dustjacket with some light marginal wear and fraying to the head of spine. A very good copy. One of two works written about life in the Soviet Union by Kosinski under his Novak pseudonym. Kosinski something of a master of obscuring his own footprints never really accounted for his need to write anti-communist material in the US under an assumed name and it was widely understood that these works were sponsored and commissioned by the CIA although the claim was never substantiated. This copy has one small piece of underlining to the text of the jacket flap where the author's status as "a social scientist" has been emphasised. This title and "The Future is Ours Comrade" both stem from the period when Kosinski was studying at Columbia on a Ford grant. Doubleday unknown
