The Smear Terror, by John T. Flynn - 1947
This First Edition copy of The Smear Terror, by John T. Flynn (Author of Meet Your Congress, Men of Wealth, The Truth About Pearl Harbor) originally appeared in the Chicago Tribune and was then self-published by John T. Flynn in 1947 to provide the means for a much wider distribution. As stated on the cover, “This pamphlet tells the story of one of the strangest chapters in our history – the story of private gestapos formed to terrorize citizens who differ with the objectives of the operators....The purpose is to frighten into silence all who dare question their plans at home and abroad....This story is told here for the first time.”
The booklet, which measures approximately 6 x 9 inches, contains 32 pages dedicated to the incendiary writings of the author on the status of the U.S. Government. The item is staple-bound in brown paper covers. Its pages are tanned, but the text is clear and easily read. The overall condition of the booklet is very good.
The illustrations accompanying this description show the front cover and a 2-page spread containing a Foreword and the first page of text.
