Together with: Thurmond (Strom) The Faith we have not kept, 8vo San Diego, Calif. 1968. First Edn., 192pp bl. & wh. illus., paperback, Signed Presentation Copy, by the author to Senator Dan Brewster, my esteemed friend and colleague, and with typed note to Brewster asserting that the book “ discusses vital issues of the day and proposes certain solutions that should be of interest to you. “Brewster was the ex-husband of Anne Bullitt. Senator Nancy Pelosi served as an intern on Brewster’s sta ff in the 1960’s.” The “faith not kept” is faith with the Founding Fathers and the principles bequeathed by them. The book deals with the internal problems of America, the threats from without, and what must be done about them. James StromThurmond (1902 - 2003) served for 48 years as Senator for South Carolina, the only congressman to have reached the age of 100 while still in o ffi ce. His career was marked by controversy: a vehement segregationist, in 1964 he changed from Democrat to Republican because of his opposition to the Civil Rights Bill. Regarded in his lifetime as a major political fi gure, his reputation among black people is somewhat mixed. * See Biographical Note before Lot 153. € 300 - 400
