The 4th Edition of Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest remains one of the pre-eminent reference texts in its field. Extensively revised and generously illustrated, this 4-volume set provides precise, state-of-the-art discussions of epidemiology, pathogenesis, pathology, pathological-radiological correlations, and clinical manifestations of pulmonary disease. ABOUT THE AUTHOR : Richard S. Fraser (30 June 1913 27 November 1988) was an American Trotskyist and the principal theoretician of the doctrine of revolutionary integrationism in the 1950s within the Socialist Workers Party (US), against George Breitman's advocacy of support for black nationalism. He joined the Trotskyist movement in 1934, and was a founding member of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) in the US. He made a study of the black question in the late 1940s, after the Party began to lose hundreds of black recruits. This was due not only to the rise of McCarthyist repression of the SWP, but also, of the party's burgeoning opportunism on the question of black nationalism. Informally, the leadership had even begun discouraging white and black members from forming interracial couples.
