Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. First edition. Signed by Richard Hofstadter on front free endpaper, inscribed to sociologist Daniel Bell "with love always from the depths of the unprogressive. [signed] Dick" dated in the year of publication, Oct. 20, 1968. A few marginal brackets in red ink (presumably by Bell), else Fine in an unclipped dust jacket with a hint of toning, else Fine. xvii, [1], 498, [2], xiii, [5] pp. Original gray cloth with gilt and crimson stamping, red topstain. A nice association between two major American intellectuals of the 20th century. Hofstadter is most often remembered to day for his warnings against "the paranoid style in American politics"; Bell was Left-wing intellectual who became a neoconservative prophet of the post-industrial.
Not only that, this volume is a master's historical analysis of three seminal historians delivered in a breathless style which maintains its dynamism till the very end. This is intellectual history at its best, and therefore indispensable for anyone interested not only in American but also in world history. I was familiar with one or two of Hofstadter's books, but for me this volume is a stunning achievement. As a former history teacher I tend to be rather detached and critical, but buy this book.
