Description

Signed book: Masters of Deceit. Later printing. NY: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1961. Hardcover, 5.75 x 8.5, 374 pages. Nicely signed on the first free end page in fountain pen, "J. Edgar Hoover." In fine condition, with trivial foxing to textblock edges. A desirable, uninscribed example of Hoover's detailed critique of communism in the United States, written as both a warning against the perceived threat of communist infiltration and a guide to identifying and combating subversive activities.
