About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1965. First Edition. Fine/Fine. First edition. xiv, [ii], 315, [3], xii, [4] pp. Original navy cloth with gilt lettering, red topstain. A Fine, unread copy in beautiful Fine unclipped dust jacket with no fading whatsoever, mere hints of toning and shelf wear. Essentially as new. A superb copy.
The titular essay, a critique of populism and conspiracism first published in Harper's Magazine in 1964, seems to spring eternal for many intellectuals critically examining the American character. This is its first appearance in book form.
