Book desription: New York: Harper & Brothers, 1954. Stated First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Good. The informer is infiltrating American life at the national, state, and local level. He invades the privacy of the home, reports on classroom discussions and library accessions, and summons his colleagues to challenge the sanctity of the church. He is a man of the shadows, born of fear and contributing to it. He speaks in whispers. Justice William O. Douglas describes him as "nameless" and "faceless." He is not subpeonaed, answers no roll call, dares not face the man he accuses. He is as un-American as the Nazi Gauleiter or the Russian commisar. But he is here. He strikes at the heart of American freedom. He is a creature of the police state, an alien and malignant growth. Written in the foreword by Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, about his experience with the house committee on un-American activities. A frightening look at how paranoia can change the country, and some of it sounds very familiar. 186 pages. The book has a small sticker on the inside cover from another book store. The jacket is scuffed and has wear and chips at the spine ends and corners. There is a 1/2" tear at the bottom back. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
