Swanson on half-title. Raymond Gram Swing (March 25, 1887 – December 22, 1968) was an American print and broadcast journalist. He was one of the most influential news commentators of his era, heard by people worldwide as a leading American voice from Britain during World War II. Known originally as Raymond Swing, he adopted his wife's last name in 1919 and became known as Raymond Gram Swing. During the 1920s, Swing migrated to the new medium of radio journalism. Swing joined the Mutual Broadcasting System, where, in 1936, he began to broadcast on European affairs, emerging as a strong voice of opposition to Adolf Hitler and Fascism. As the Nazis rose in power and influence and began to threaten Europe, Mutual increased his broadcasts to five times a week. He also gave a number of lectures in the United States and abroad on the dangers of Fascism. Because of his prestige and credibility, Swing was chosen to be chairman of the Council for Democracy, a group founded in 1940 to support American rearmament and combat domestic isolationism. Swing was the narrator for the cartoon series How War Came, nominated in 1941 for an Academy Award in the Best Short Subject, Cartoons category. During the war, Swing was reportedly the nation's highest-paid radio commentator. More

Washington, DC: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1961. Limited Edition, number 944 of 500. Wraps. x, 657, [1] pages. Wraps. Fold-out maps. Figures. Tables. Bibliography. Name in ink on title page. Covers soiled. Copy #944 of 500 copies (Clearly it was reprinted after the first 500 and the copy numbers reflected the actual number produced. Believed to be 1000. Prepared under contract with the Department of the Army. This book covers the sociological, political, economic, and military background information essential for planning for psychological operations and unconventional warfare. Very scarce. Project Camelot was a counterinsurgency study begun by the United States Army in 1964. The project was executed by the Special Operations Research Office (SORO) at American University, which assembled an eclectic team of psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, economists, and other intellectuals to analyze the society and culture of numerous target countries, especially in Latin America. The goal of the project was to enhance the Army's ability to predict and influence social developments in foreign countries. This motive was described by an internal memo on December 5, 1964: "If the U.S. Army is to perform effectively its part in the U.S. mission of counterinsurgency it must recognize that insurgency represents a breakdown of social order and that the social processes involved must be understood." Controversy arose around Project Camelot when professors in South America discovered its military funding and criticized its motives as imperialistic. The Department of Defense ostensibly canceled Project Camelot on July 8, 1965, but continued the same research more discreetly. More

Chicago, IL: edition q, inc., 1993. Presumed first edition/first printing. Hardcover. x, 187 pages. Illustrations. DJ has some wear and soiling, edge tears and chips. Some edge soiling. Foreword by Henno Lohmeyer. In his foreword, edition q editor-in-chief Henno Lohmeyer wonders whether ``the KGB was guiding the author's hand.'' Readers on their part will speculate that Tumanov, who emerges as preening and self-important, has so little of substance to say because he was a transmitter of low-level intelligence. The book lobbies for shutting down Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe--a debate that garnered attention these past months before congress approved funding for the Board of International Broadcasting, the independent agency under whose aegis the station now operates. Tumanov maintains that he was a KGB plant at the station; after his staged defection from the U.S.S.R. in 1965, he settled in Munich and worked at Radio Liberty. In 1969, this sleeper agent was activated; by the time he was recalled home and retired in 1986, he had become news editor. [from Publisher's Weekly]. More
