Description:
New York: McGraw-Hill, 1937. Gift inscription inside front cover to a Major Clifford Sayre "from the junior officers of the B'flo Military District," dated 1941; later inscribed and signed by the author, "With best wishes" on front free endpaper, dated 1945. Third printing. Octavo (24cm). Black cloth boards, titled in gilt on spine; xviii,[1]-739pp; illustrations and diagrams in text; one folding table ("Properties of Chemical Agents"). Major work on the use of chemical agents in warfare, written following the establishment of the Geneva Protocols, yet at a time when Axis powers were known to be stockpiling large quantities of poisons and nerve agents in the lead-up to the Second World War. Brigadier General Augustin Prentiss (1890-1977) was one of the Army's leading experts on chemical warfare, now probably best remembered for the rather shocking statement (made in the current work) that "Chemical warfare is the most humane method of warfare yet devised by man" (Prentiss was surely neither the first…

Description:
New York: Viking Press, 1931. First Edition. First printing. Octavo (22cm). Red cloth boards, with applied paper title labels to spine and front cover; dustwrapper; 452pp. Inscribed on half-title: "To Mr. George Schmitter with best wishes," signed, undated but apparently contemporary with publication. Another hand has added initials and a date of 1934 beneath the inscription; a later owner has added a commercial bookplate to the dedication leaf (facing copyright page). The book is a solid, Very Good copy, lightly dusted at board edges but still quite sound and attractive. The jacket is price-clipped, sunned and worn, with extensive clear tape adhesions to verso (most of these have been removed by a professional conservator, the remainder stabilized, with a few tears professionally mended but no restoration). Good only, but a truly scarce example. The very elusive first edition of Adamic's first book, a classic history of militant social movements in America and the equally militant methods used to…

[Milwaukee: Milwaukee Sentinel, 1966]. Original black and white photographic print, 8" x 10". Stamps and composition notes to recto below image; clipping glued to verso with brief ink caption; small loss to bottom right corner, well away from image. Very Good overall, with image area clean and unfaded. Photo shows the aftermath of the attempted assassination of Fred Bassett Blair, at this time Chairman of the Wisconsin Communist Party. A year earlier, Blair had been singled out by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover as the proprietor of one of "eight major communist bookstores operating in the United States." The shooting was carried out by a 17-year-old boy with a handgun inside Mary's Books, a used bookshop owned and managed by Blair's wife (which indeed carried a small section of Marxist books). Blair was unharmed, but a bookseller colleague, Ralph Sacks, was injured by three bullets. Blair beat the assailant into submission with a toy baseball bat, and in this photo the unidentified youth is seen…
