The Trial Of Dr. Spock (Inscribed First Edition, First Printing) Mitford, Jessica

Inscribed First Edition, First Printing of Jessica Mitford's account of one of most notable cases of over-zealous government officials cracking down on anti-Vietnam War activism in the 1960s. Dr. Benjamin Spock, the mega-seller author books on baby care and child-rearing, Yale Chaplin William Sloane Coffin Jr. and three others were convicted and sentenced to prison for subverting the military draft. But the verdicts won by the prosecution in a flawed and unsightly trial were thrown out on appeal. Inscribed by Jessica Mitford to a previous owner on the front endpaper. Cloth, 272 pages. The dust jacket is price clipped and a crease on the back flap. Otherwise, minimal sign of previous use.
