1940 Robbery Under Law: The Mexican Object-Lesson
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
First published the year prior by Chapman & Hall, this is the second edition of this work, published by the Catholic Book Club, and with a new dust wrapper.
In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.
Waugh offers a critical study of the socialist and anti-clerical leanings of the Mexican government in the 1930s.
Throughout, Waugh reflects his own conservative and Roman Catholic beliefs, themes which he often analysed in his works of literature, such as 'Brideshead Revisited', and 'A Handful of Dust'.
