Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. Fair dj. Book Club Edition. [reading copy only, a sound but quite shelfworn book, with bumping/fraying to cloth at most corners; the jacket is heavily edgeworn, with numerous small tear and chips, most notably at the upper spine]. Novel about a guy who "rose to power by a series of almost mathematical… calculations in which he used people's emotions instead of numbers," ultimately becoming "the biggest man in one of the biggest states in one of the biggest countries in the world." (All of which sounds like a chillingly modern premise for a book written during the supposedly buttoned-down 1950s.) This was the author's first novel; his next two, "The Ugly American" and "Fail-Safe," both written in collaboration with other writers, became well-known through their film adaptations; his final work, "The 480," published just a year before his death in 1965 at the age of 46, was a prescient work about the use of computer systems to manipulate electoral politics. Illustrated by (dj design) William Barss (illustrator).
