Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition.

He shows how news of contemporary political happenings can be rendered instantly intelligible when presented in the total historical context to which they belong. Douglas Reed was one of the most brilliant political analysts and descriptive writers of the [20th] century." - dust jacket.
