New afterword, with a few illustrations, by Gavin Callaghan (filling pages 259-274). Index. Bound in the original pictorial wraps. From Wikipedia: "The John Franklin Letters is a 1959 dystopian anti-communist novel. Published anonymously by The Bookmailer, it was likely written by far-right activist Revilo P. Oliver, a founding member of the John Birch Society and classics professor. The book was distributed and popularized by the John Birch Society. It is overtly politically right-wing and anti-communist, presenting communism as a system that can be easily overthrown with determined resistance. The book also focuses on racist themes; it was written in a period of division over race within the John Birch Society. An epistolary novel, it utilizes a framing device with the eponymous letters being contextualized in a preface by a future historian. After the New Deal, the United States is taken over by the "Buros" (bureaucrats). The Buros eventually give power to the United Nations, who occupy the country with foreign fighters. They seize all guns, and in their first year of power, over 20 million Americans die. The protagonist, John Franklin, is a member of the Rangers, the resistance to the regime; their struggle to restore America is recounted in the letters between him and his elderly uncle.".
