Dustjacket. viii; 279pp. Light scuffing and edgewear minor bumping to spine ends in a bright strong example of the dustjacket with some minor rubbing and chipping to extremities. some sunning and fraying to the spine panel and ends a very good handsome copy with some light wear. Internally clean. Bookplate of Phillip G. Fox to front pastedown clearly a home made design and almost certainly that of Professor Phillip G. Fox of the University of Wisconsin who was a professor of business administration with an almost obsessive interest in slot machines and the mathematics of gambling payouts. The bookplate has been composed as a piece of typewriter art centered on a complex mathematical equation; bookdealers aren't necessarily terribly mathematically adept so the solution will have to be found by the next owner of the book.<br /> <br /> Packer's preoccupation here is centred around which of the regularly used official methods for interrogating communists and building information on their activities is the most efficient and successful; court trials admisnitrative hearins or Congressional investigations. There is an interesting corollary in that he is compelled to analyze whether or not Communism is in fact subversive but the answer to that shouldn't probably shouldn't get in the way of a good system for governments to control their citizens.
