Sobre este artículo
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1951. First edition. First edition. xiv, [16, photos], 474, xvii, [3] pp. Finely rebound by Asprey in full morocco with five raised bands, gilt spine lettering and ornate turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Near Fine.
An expose of fascist networks active in the Middle East after WWII by muchraking anti-fascist journalist John Roy Carlson, an Armenian-American journalist whose bestselling book Under Cover brought similar networks in the US before and during WWII to light. Scholars of terrorism post 9/11 have called attention to some of the figures in this book as early proponents of Islamic fundmentalism and third-positionism. An unusual, obscure choice for such a luxurious binding, but for the intrepid collector of parapolitical literature and the history of political extremism perhaps it's ideal.
