Good with no dust jacket. Signed and inscribed by author to Cmdr. E.B. Jarman upon front free endpaper. "Even though the fighting forces of the United States have overcome the military might of Italy, Germany and Japan, we have not been equally successful in defeating fhe Fascist threat here at home. We will not win lasting peace unless we solve the problem of checking disruptive propaganda."-Introduction. Hoke, concerned that proceedings against alleged WWII American fascists were being stymied or kept secret, decided to write this book to serve as a final report which woujld attempt to tell the whole truth. "I will not violate any of the legal rules of secrecy surrounding Grand Jury proceedings. But I insist that it is permissible to give all the names of all the people who appeared before the various Grand Juries investigating [WWII-era] sedition, and to give too the background of the witnewsses known from long and close study. I describe what has happened to some of the witnesses who appeared before the Federal Grand Jury, what they are doing now, and whhat their announced plans are for the future. All of this put together should give a pattern of what the Fascists expect to do and why we should be on watch against them."-Introduction.

He exposed this in his first book, entitled Black Mail, in 1944. xii, 312 p. Index. Black and white photographic plates. Average wear to original tan cloth. Binding intact. Tanning to endpapers. A worthy signed example of this intriguing WWII-era account.; 8vo; Signed by Author.
