[COMMUNISM] NOVAK, Joseph [PSEUD: KOSINSKI, Jerzy]

No Third Path

New york: Doubleday, 1962. First Edition. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's russet cloth titled in black to spine. Dustjacket. 359pp. Light wear to board edges and spine ends; internally clean, fore-edge untrimmed; in a clean, bright example of the dustjacket with some light marginal wear, and fraying to the head of spine. A very good copy.

One of two works written about life in the Soviet Union, by Kosinski under his Novak pseudonym. Kosinski, something of a master of obscuring his own footprints, never really accounted for his need to write anti-communist material in the US under an assumed name, and it was widely understood that these works were sponsored and commissioned by the CIA, although the claim was never substantiated. This copy has one small piece of underlining to the text of the jacket flap, where the author's status as "a social scientist" has been emphasised. This title and "The Future is Ours, Comrade" both stem from the period when Kosinski was studying at Columbia on a Ford grant.
