J. Edgar Hoover signed first edition of ''Masters of Deceit''. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1958. The FBI Director inscribes, ''To G. Shelby Ferguson / Best wishes / J. Edgar Hoover / 7.8.58'' upon the front free endpaper. In this important 1950s treatise on communism, Hoover outlines five types of ''fellow travelers,'' from the ''card-carrying Communist'' to the ''dupe,'' who inadvertently enables communism. Minor toning to signature page and chipping to unclipped dustjacket. Both in very good condition.
