About This Item
Chicago: The Tower Press, Inc.. Very Good+ in Good dj. 1929. First Edition. Hardcover. [nice clean book with only light shelfwear; jacket is heavily edgeworn, with various small nicks and tears, minor paper loss at a couple of corners]. Anti-communist novel that "takes the reader through a social, political and educational intrigue that winds through the halls of America's leading educational institutions. Many of the leading characters are nationally known figures, some disguised for the story's purpose -- others are introduced by name and alias -- all woven into a gripping story of mystery and dramatic action faithfully portraying a condition that will amaze the reading public." This was the first of several similarly sensationalistic and alarmist novels by this author (1872-1953), a World War I veteran who was also a prominent American Legionnaire, and was EXTREMELY exercised about radicals -- socialists! -- communists!! (or maybe all three!) plotting to take over America, starting (of course) with the nation's college campuses. He'd be right at home in any one of our present-day Trump-blessed militia groups. .
