A detailed historical account of the regulations and crackdowns on demonstrations and protests, starting with the enactment of the Osaka City Public Safety Ordinance in 1948 and expanding nationwide. This is a highly-regarded work, with impressive archival research and meticulous analysis, which led to Shōhei Ōoka writing the recommendation. - Author: Osamu Ozaki - Title: Secret History of the Public Safety Ordinance - Price: 1800 yen (list price) - Publisher: Tsuge Shobo (First edition, 1978) Thank you for viewing. This is an old book published nearly half a century ago, with some soiling on the cover and sun fading on the spine of the obi (paper band). There are some minor stains on the edges of the pages, but the top and bottom edges are relatively clean. It's surprising that the red color of the cover and obi hasn't faded much (usually, this is the first thing to fade). There are no markings, and the condition is good for its age.
