paperback; all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book will reduce your overall postage cost.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Persecution 1961 contains nine case studies of persecution, intolerance, and brutality in the divided world of the mid-century. Each case shows what can happen to people living under any system of government and law whose views are unacceptable to their rulers or unpopular with their neighbours. The d…isappearance of Olga Ivinskaya and the imprisonment of Constantin Noica are matched on the other side of the ideological fence by the savage persecution of the Rev. Ashton Jones in America and the appalling humiliation for France of the torture and death of Maurice Audin. If the worth of human life (dressed in whatever colour of skin) is still to be measured in terms of individual freedom under the rule of a just law, then the price of that freedom is still eternal vigilance, and through Audin's fate, the imprisonment of Patrick Duncan, the flogging of Neto, and indeed all the case studies presented here, Persecution 1961 shows the classic warning to be an urgent and inescapable task of our time. Signed. Tanned and foxed; inscription by author on first page..
