A Curtain of Ignorance; China: how America is Deceived

Handling marks to the edges of the text block, rubbing and chipping at all of the corners of the dust jacket. Digital image available upon request. In this book, the author exposes the errors and falls predictions which, he maintains, have been given to the American people and has seriously distorted their picture of Communist China. Most of the people in the United States -- the majority under 30 -- if they have relied on our press for their information about China, can have come to only one conclusion: that China's backwardness, her shortage of food, and what is thought of as the prevailing misery of her people, are due to the Communist; that during the civil war in China evil men throughout the good men; and that those are good men were defeated and are now in exile, it is America's moral obligation to support them against the ruthless and aggressive tyrants who have reduced the Chinese masses to unspeakable indignities and suffering. -- from the foreword History Reasonable

Illustrated with reproductions in black-and-white of artworks, documents, and photographs. Colour illustrated paperback binding. The book shows no signs of damage. "The Salem persecution occurred over so short a period of time, and is so well documented, that it reveals the development of a witchhunt rather clearly. In a climate of fear and intolerance, accusations by other stable individuals lead to interested parties seizing the chance to further their agendas and target their enemies.". Page XVI The author regards the Salem witch hunt as the first wave, McCarthyism, a second wave of persecution, "recovered memories" the third wave, and offers that since September 11, 2001 the fear of terrorism has produced an upsurge of unprovoked attacks on law-abiding Muslims, and allows for the possibility of a witchhunt.

A Dynasty of Western Outlaws
Wellman, Paul I.
ISBN: 0803297092
University of Nebraska Press 1986
8vo softcover 384pp index, b/w illus. very good+. The organized gangs of robbers and killers who roamed the Midwest and Southwest from the 1860s to the 1930s went to the same school and were succored by each other's notoriety. So Paul I. Wellman makes a case for "the contagious nature of crime." William Quantrill and his guerrillas established a criminal tradition that was to link the James, Dalton, Doolin, Jennings, and Cook gangs; Belle and Henry Starr; Pretty Boy Floyd; and others in "a long and crooked train of unbroken personal connections."
