Metropolitan Books, 1997. First edition, first printing large cloth bound illustrated hardcover.
This book comes from the library of M.L. Buchanan III, who served undercover with his wife in the CIA for 28 years on assignments throughout the globe. Prior to the CIA, he served as a U.S. Marine.
The Commissar Vanishes offers a chilling look at how one man--Joseph Stalin--manipulated the science of photography to advance his own political career and to erase the memory of his victims.
Good condition. Solid copy with clean pages & some shelf wear. Previous owner's library of blind stamp to the front fly leaf. 1/2-inch tear to the dust jacket lower spine.
