Snapshots and vignettes from 1968 about the state of the United States, "a nation at war halfway around the world, at war with itself and about to choose its leaders for the next four years."

His stance is that of an amused Gulliver reporting on strange and exotic cultures, and he describes their antic and fantastic character with surprised and diffident wonder." (Thomas Lask, The New York Times, June 8, 1968, page 29). Signed copies of this book are uncommon. CONDITION: Tiny black dot…
