Beschreibung

Pamphlet. Octavo. Single sheet folded once to form four pages. Very good with tiny stain on one corner, some general wear and a vertical crease, likely from being folded for mailing. Prints details about the charges made against DuBois and his associates at The Peace Information Center, and solicits donations of time and/or money in their defense. On February 16, 1951 DuBois was arrested for operating as the unregistered agent of a foreign power, because of his involvement with a group called the Peace Information Center, of which he was chairman. Also indicted were Sylvia Soloff, Kyrle Elkin, Elizabeth Moos, and Abbott Simon. Their "crime," the U.S. government claimed, was that "they wrote and spoke about peace and war and the effects of war and certain weapons of war. and in doing this prove themselves to be agents of a foreign power." Ultimately the trial judge threw out the case, and DuBois went on to write about his experiences in *In Battle for Peace: The Story of My Eighty-Third Birthday* (1952). Uncommon. *OCLC* locates two copies of this pamphlet. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 518951
