Chandler & Sharp Pub, 1982. Soft cover. Very Good. Mild surface wear. A writer often overlooked precisely because he would not put his career before his political ideals. He fought in the Lincoln brigade in the Spanish Civil War (3 stories here on this subject) and later became one of the Hollywood Ten during McCarthyism for which he was imprisoned. Light general wear to the book.
