About This Item
New York: The Vanguard Press, 1953. Signed by Edward Hunter on the paste down, inscribed to Harlan A. Westrell, likely CIA chief of counterintelligence in the Office of Security and friend of Watergate burglar James McCord, in Washington D.C., August 1, 1957. viii, 341 pp. Bound in publisher's navy cloth with red and silver lettering. Fourth printing of the new and enlarged edition. Very Good+, lacking dust jacket. An interesting association.
An extremely influential text that examined propaganda and indoctrination techniques in Maoist China, inspiring the novel/film The Manchurian Candidate, generations of American Cold Warriors, and even American interrogators in the War on Terror.
