About This Item
New York: George Braziller, 1966. first edition. hardcover. Book VG: mild shelf wear to boards and spine, offset to endpapers, text clean, binding tight, slight lean./DJ G: crease/closed tears on rear cover, mild age toning/rubbing, NOT clipped ($6.50). 8vo 320pp. from front flap: "No American historian in our time has concerned himself more consistently, or more fearlessly, with teh rights of citizens adn the responsibilities of government. An ardent champion of democracy and the Bill of Rights, of the right to dissent and "the pragmatic necessity for freedom," Dr. Commager has never hesitated to criticize our political morality, or lack of such, and our confused sense of ethics in public life. Not the least impressive thing about his "timely" writings is that they become more timely each passing year." #01615.
