“The Establishment” by Howard Fast is a seminal work of 20th-century American literature, offering a searing critique of the nation’s power structures and their corrosive influence on society. Published in 1979, this novel captures the tumultuous era of the 1960s and 70s, when counterculture movements challenged traditional institutions and values. Fast, a prolific and acclaimed author, was no stranger to controversy, having been blacklisted during the McCarthy era for his leftist political views. This copy, though lacking a dust jacket, remains a well-preserved artifact of a pivotal time in American history. Collectors and readers alike will appreciate Fast’s unflinching prose and his deft exploration of themes such as corruption, social injustice, and the struggle for individual freedom in the face of oppressive systems. With its enduring relevance and literary merit, “The Establishment” stands as a testament to the power of literature to confront societal ills and inspire change.
