This is a first edition, second printing of Lillian Hellman's "Scoundrel Time," a gripping account of the McCarthy witch trials that took place in the 1950s. The hardcover book was published by Little, Brown and Company in 1976 and is equipped with a dust jacket. It is a special edition that contains illustrations, and it is inscribed by the author's literary agent. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical books, especially for those interested in the topic of political witch hunts in North America. (Edited AI description).  My additions - The dust jacket is taped to the book so I can't attest to the condition of the cover, I expect it is good. There is also a cut across the front of the dust jacket.  Also the book was given as a gift from Harold Matson and signed by him. He handled Hellman and many other import authors.
