Europe Under The Terror Tapa blanda - 2010

A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR John L. Spivak entered newspaper work at an early age and has kept at it for twenty years. In New York he served with the Sun J Journal, and Graphic; abroad he served as special correspondent for the International News Service. During his career, Spivak has originated a technique of journalistic detective work entirely his own. Long ago in Des Moines he had himself locked in a strait-jacket in an insane asylum and came out with proof that the State Board was incarcerating sane people. More recently he contributed to the defeat of Congressman MacFadden of Pennsylvania and exposed as forgeries the so-called "Whalen Documents" that the former New York Police Commissioner used to discredit liberals and radicals. Spivak is the author of several books: The Devil's Brigade, the story of the Hatfield-McCoy feud; Georgia Nigger, the story of the southern chain gangs; and America Faces the Barricades, a report on the state of the Union. Spivak's home is in Hartford, Connecticut, and his hobbies are photography and pistol-shooting. In a recent competition with a Kentucky mountaineer he made nine direct hits out of ten. And he writes the same way.
