Sobre este artículo

Barghoorn to front free endpaper. 8 3/4" X 5 3/4". 329pp. Mild edgewear to unclipped dust jacket, with shallow chipping to head and tail of spine, sunning to spine, small closed tear at center of spine, and dust soiling to panels. Bound in full red cloth over boards, with spine lettered in gilt. Faint stain to upper board and mild edgewear to binding. Foxing to edges of text block and to endpapers. Binding is firm, tight, and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. A very presentable first printing, very uncommon signed, of this study of the development of communist thought and practice concerning the uses of foreign propaganda by one of the 1960s most eminent academics studying the Soviet Union. Frederick C. Barghoorn (1911-1990) was a Yale University expert on Soviet affairs whose 1963 jailing in Moscow by Soviet officials thrust him into the spotlight of an international incident. Barghoorn had been visiting the Soviet Union in the course of conducting interviews for a book and was seized on charges of espionage. Barghoorn's jailing led to protests by American diplomats. The Soviet Union released him only after pressure from President John F. Kennedy. In what would be President Kennedy's last White House news conference, he denounced the unjust imprisonment of Barghoorn and said it had "greatly damaged" Soviet relations with the United States. Over two weeks after his jailing, the Soviets released Barghoorn, citing "the personal concern expressed by President Kennedy," though they continued to insist he was a spy. Barghoorn was welcomed back to the Yale University campus by a rally of 2,200 people, according to his obituary in the New York Times.

Sobre Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
