Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. FIGHTERS FOR FREEDOM. First Edition, Inscribed by Read on the front flyleaf.

In these brief stories, written in first person to readers, he recounts the battles for liberty--"The inspiring story of Men and Women Who Fought for Liberty throughout the Ages"-- waged by its giants, known (Socrates, Milton) and unknown (Clarkson, Decatur). While some of Read's choices for distinction may be questionable, his charm and dramatic technique appeal to idealists of all ages. Book is very good, square, firm, with slight spine split and darkening to back pastedown. The jacket is chipped at the top and bottom of spine and on the back panel, but maintains its vibrant red, white and blue cover. For lovers of freedom, a welcome, inscribed addition for the library of Liberty. Book #P5a102. $25. We specialize in rare Ayn Rand, history, and science.
