1919réf. 17439Chicago: Deutschen Sprachgruppe der Socialist Party of the United States 1919. First American Edition. 12mo 18cm. Printed card wrappers; 127pp. Very mild external wear; faint spotting to a few pages of text; Near Fine in the original wrappers. Probable first printing in America of Trotsky's account of the October revolution. English editions appeared the same year in London and Brooklyn but it is likely that this German-language version translated from the Russian by German-American scholar Jacob Wittmer Hartmann precedes any English edition. Interestingly a German translation had already appeared in Berlin in 1918 but the German-language group of the Socialist Party commissioned this new translation from Hartmann for the American edition.

1971réf. 16792Roma: Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada 1971. First Edition. Lithographed poster offset in three colors; 100cm x 70cm ca 40" x 28"; on heavy paper. Minor toning; light creases at margins; Near Fine - Grade A/A-. A bit of a puzzle: the poster appears to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the Associazione Bandiera Rossa an Italian Trotskyist group; but the poster bears the imprint of the PCI the main-line Marxist-Leninist party in Italy -- an ideological implausibility even within the chaotic confines of Italian Marxism. Adding further to the confusion is a quotation from Antonio Gramsci founder of the PCI in upper right. In any case a terrific graphic attributed here to Luciano Prati whose name we encounter on a few late-70s Italian film posters but nowhere else. Duke University appears to be the only North American institution to hold a catalogued copy of this work. Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada unknown books

1955réf. 36811New York: Hecla Press 1955. vi 59 1 blank pp. Near Fine in original staples and printed title wrappers light dusting. Nelson a member of the Communist Party was tried and found guilty of violating Pennsylvania's anti-sedition law. Nelson appealed his conviction to the United States Supreme Court which held that federal law the Smith Act the Internal Security Act and the Communist Control Act had superseded and thus rendered void all State laws on the subject of subversion and sedition. See Pennsylvania v. Nelson 350 U.S. 497 1956. The amici were individuals who like Nelson had been convicted of violating similar State laws in Kentucky Massachusetts New Hampshire and Florida. Donner's brief on their behalf is an illuminating description of America's response to Communist subversion whether real or imaginary in the decade after the end of World War II.

1951réf. 902Praha Prague: Nakladatelstvi Mir Drustevní Práce 1951. First Edition. Small Quarto 10 7/8 x 9 1/4 inches; 275 x 235 mm 124 pages in illustrated boards. A collection of anti-Hitler and anti-U.S. cartoons by the great Soviet cartoonist Boris Efimov 1900-2008 whose name is rendered in Czech as Boris Jefimova. The anthology starts in the 1930s with the rise of Hitler and carries forward to the late 1940s attacking the Marshall Plan Wall Street fat cats the Western alliance and the U.S. position in Korea. By contrast and not surprisingly the Soviet Union is portrayed heroically having single-handedly defeated Hitler. Given the preponderance of Wall Street financiers in the cartoons Wall Street appears to be behind Western imperialism and belligerence and even abetted the rise of Hitler. The book opens with a quote from "J. Stalin" and contains 60 cartoons mostly in black-and-white but some containing deep red representing of course the supposed nobility of the Soviet Union and its allies. Copies of this Czech-language book are uncommon. OCLC lists just three institutional holdings: the College of William and Mary the National Library of the Czech Republic and the University of Leipzig. A very good striking example of Czech-Russian agitprop during the dark days of the Cold War. SCARCE. CONDITION: Light soiling and wear to the boards but the pages are clean and bright.
