Gilt decorative endpapers, Place marker silk ribbon in place. Firm binding, Richard Thomas Condon (March 18, 1915 April 9, 1996) was an American political novelist. Though his works were satire, they were generally transformed into thrillers or semi-thrillers in other media, such as cinema. All 26 books were written in distinctive Condon style, which combined a fast pace, outrage, and frequent humor while focusing almost obsessively on monetary greed and political corruption. Condon himself once said: "Every book I've ever written has been about abuse of power. I feel very strongly about that. I'd like people to know how deeply their politicians wrong them." Wikipedia. Photo attached is not of this book but book number 2216. The design of the front cover and spine is exactly the same as this book.
