Nice copy of this somewhat uncommon book, a survey of the American political scene in the final years of the Great Depression. Salter was a long-time, much beloved professor of Political Science at the University of Wisconsin and a prolific author of popular books on political subjects. Derleth is best remembered as the proprietor of the supernatural publishing concern Arkham House; but he was the author of more than a hundred books, including numerous works of natural history and the regional history of his native Wisconsin.
