Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. Signed and inscribed by author upon title page. "At the end of WWI Canada was poised on the brink of social revolution. At least that is what many Canadians, inspired by the success of the Russian Revolution in 1917, hoped and others dreaded.

Footnotes. Index. Black and white reproductions of photos. Clean, bright, tight and unmarked with very light wear. An excellent signed example. ; 8vo; Signed by Author.…
