About This Item
New York: Free Press, 1996. Fine in fine dust jacket. This is a reprint of the famous antimilitarist spoof of 1967, masquerading as a top secret government report demonstrating the threat that permanent peace presented to our nation's economic and social stability, here with a new introduction by Victor Navasky and an appendix on the "Iron Mountain Affair," with excerpts from newspaper articles beginning with a NY Times article headlined, "Report on Peace Gets Mixed Views / Some See Book as Hoax, Others Take it Seriously." Interesting that the book is now occasionally taken seriously by the radical right. 152 pages.. 1st Edition. Hard Cover.
