RED SMOKE

New York: McBride, 1932. Pictorial cloth (with a somewhat striking but primitive design of a row of smokestacks). Head of spine a bit frayed, cloth lightly rubbed, light wear to a couple of corners, else a very good copy. First edition. Rather immodestly inscribed: "To David Kirschenbaum this journalistic pioneering book in a still unexplored field is inscribed Isaac Don Levine Jan. 19, 1935." The author has also signed the title page. An attempt to prove how backward the Soviets were in their implementation of technology and industrial developments. (Inventory #: WRCLIT31897)
