Hardcover. xxxi, 148p., small stain on fore-edge, else very good condition in a price-clipped dj. The Social History of Canada, #20. From the dust jacket: "With tales of a gruesome murder, a typhoid epidemic, corrupt politicians, and a Japanese invasion, The Writing on the Wall was intended to shock its readers when it was published in 1921. Thinly disguised as a novel, it is a propaganda tract exhorting white British Columbians to greater vigilance to prevent greedy politicians from selling out to the Chinese and Japanese.".
