A very good solid copy. Illustrated throughout with full page plates. For a man named by his father after the logo of the American Socialist Labor Party after slipping out of Odessa in the 1870's Armand Hammer's journey to become one of the world's most influential businessmen and "Lenin's Favorite Capitalist" must have been a dramatic one. His father Julius had spent much of the early 20th century consolidating his role at Allied Drug and Chemical which was essentially at times a smuggling front shipping embargoed goods to Russia during the US trade sanctions. After Julius was sentenced to 3 years in Sing Sing allegedly for a botched abortion that resulted in the death of a Russian woman from subsequent pneumonia although modern research suggests that Armand a medical student might have been the one who performed the abortion and Julius took responsibility as the qualified senior medical professional present Armand took over Allied Drug and Chemical and raised it to new heights of corporate success. During Prohibition Allied's largest seller was a essentially alcoholic ginger ale sold as a medicinal tonic to great profit. Acting under the instructions of his imprisoned father Armand began taking numerous business trips to the Soviet Union. A young J. Edgar Hoover at that point basically an analyst at the Justice Department very strongly believed that the equally youthful Hammer was a COMINTERN courier and essentially placed him under surveillance for the rest of his life. Hammer's trips to Russia were ostensibly to recoup bad debts but this quickly developed into a number of lucrative business deals not least of which was selling cheap wheat to starving famine hit areas of Russia. Hammer developed a close co-operative no pun intended relationship with Lenin which resulted in a number of very high status business contracts and deals ranging from medical import contracts to 25 year's worth of asbestos mining in the Urals; one of Hammer's greatest coups was arranging payment for various services in furs caviar jewellery and antiquities seized by the Party from its long tail of enemies making him essentially a conduit for looted and otherwise dubious art jewels and antiques. At the height of Lenin's New Economic Policy Armand Hammer was the sole trade liason between the enormity of Soviet Russia and 38 major US corporations seeking to build trade deals through him. His grasp of the downrange necessities of dealing with the Soviets; graft bribery corruption and palm greasing was legendary and by the 1970's when his methods were starting to be inspected more closely there was no doubt that Hammer's understanding of legitimate business was secondary to his instinctive abilities in the fields of corporate and beaurocratic bribery and manipulation. This book is one personal perspective on the empire of treasure that Hammer accumulated; there are others and the entangled ephemeral traces of looted artworks forged and unfinished Fabergé eggs specially manufactured jeweller's tools designed to copy Fabergé's style exactly and a wealth of other foggy rumors and suspicions ranging from Armand the KGB stooge to Armand the James Bond Villain bent on Soviet domination through capitalism will continue to follow in his wake whether he be considered a legitimate businessman or a highly successful 20th century robber baron of legendary proportions.

4to,pp.238. Following the 1917 Russian Revolution, photography, film, and posters played an essential role in the campaign to disseminate modernity and Communist ideology. From early experimental works by Alexander Rodchenko and El Lissitzky to the modernist photojournalism of Arkady Shaikhet and Max Penson, Soviet photographers were not only in the vanguard of style and technological innovation but also radical in their integration of art and politics. Filmmakers such as Dziga Vertov, Sergei Eisenstein, and Esfir Shub pioneered cinematic techniques for works intended to mobilize viewers. Covering the period from the Revolution to the beginning of World War II, The Power of Pictures considers Soviet avant-garde photography and film in the context of political history and culture. Three essays trace this generation of artists, their experiments with new media, and their pursuit of a new political order. A wealth of stunning photographs, film stills, and film posters, as well as magazine and book designs, demonstrate that their output encompassed a spectacular range of style, content, and perspective, and an extraordinary sense of the power of the photograph to change the world.

1963pp. 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.
