"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Hard cover dust wrapper, xi/381pp. Light shelf wear, previous owner's name top right of front fep; a very good copy. Traces U.S. involvement in the Korean War, analyses American foreign policy of the period, and compares the war to the war in Vietnam. The sub-title indicates the three major areas of investigation: the atmosphere of crisis pervading Washington in the late 1940s and early 1950s, with the Red Scare and fear of communist expansion mobilising political and public sentiment in favour of military intervention in Korea; in an effort to maintain credibility the Truman administration committed the USA to a conflict in a little-known country for almost three years; the problems of command in the first major conflict since the War of 1812 in which the USA had to accept less than total victory.…

Final script for the 1974 film. Final script, dated February 5, 1974. An intense, violent film exploring racial tension in the Deep South (Alabama), with enough shock and awe to evenly divides its fans and detractors.

Pages Near Fine, wrapper Very Good plus bound with two gold brads. Fuller, A Third Face (2002), p. 472.…
