Deep Politics and the Death of JFK Scott, Peter Dale Business & Investing,History,Politics,Presidential,Signed

First edition, first printing. Great association copy signed by Peter Dale Scott and inscribed to Douglas Valentine, historian of the drug trade and its connection to American intelligence. x, 413, [1] pp. Bound in publisher's black cloth with spine lettered in white. Light rubbing to extremities, else Fine in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. A very nice signed association copy of a major entry in the vast corpus of Kennedy assassination literature. Peter Dale Scott -- Canadian poet, former diplomat, and retired professor of literature -- is the man largely responsible for introducing the oft-abused term "deep state," which originated in the byzantine intrigues of 20th century Turkish politics, to American parlance. His chapters on the connections of organized crime to both the assassination and more respectable international capitalism were especially insightful (introducing names like Dave Yaras and Jack Y. Canon), as was his research into Army Intelligence activities in Dealey Plaza. Lots of overlaps with inscribee Douglas Valentine's work.
