First Edition/ First Printing. Signed by the author on the title page. A stunning copy in an equally impressive price clipped dustjacket that is protected by a glassine cover. Dustjacket has one very small chip to bottom of spine--otherwise very very good for 1960. The state of American society in mid 20th century as described by the former editor of "American Heritage" magazine. The book studies the effects of media and communications on American Society as well as censorship and the role of America in the world. Interesting read and collectable copy for those interested in history and government issues.
