“Winners will be notified after the auction ends and once all bids have been processed to determine the winner for each lot”
J. Edgar Hoover signed first edition of ''Masters of Deceit,'' published by Henry Holt and Company: New York: 1958. The FBI Director inscribes, ''To G. Shelby Ferguson / Best wishes / J. Edgar Hoover / 7.8.58'' upon the front free endpaper. In this important 1950's treatise on communism, Hoover outlines five types of ''fellow travelers,'' from the ''card-carrying Communist'' to the ''dupe,'' who inadvertently enables communism. Minor toning to signature page and chipping to unclipped dustjacket. Both in very good condition.
