Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition Thus. 1956. First edition thus. PP [iv], 355-436, with many illustrations. "This book is a reprint of the December 1956 Special Number of the Architectural Review. "This is the sequel to 'Outrage' published in 1955. It shows how a few people in Great Britain and many more on the Continent have overcome the problems, so frequently called insurmountable, of bringing modern life to terms with the landscape. It is certainly easier to represent them as insurmountable if you don't want to spend time and energy on overcoming them, and we believe that this is very often what is happening. Inertia and complacency have dulled the efforts of the very people who ought to be thinking and working hardest not the planning officers, but the committees that control them and the ministries above them. It is easy for them to represent as public apathy what is in fact public helplessness: this book aims to arm the public with arguments against the wrong way and examples of the right way of doing things. Hence it is called Counter-Attack: and hence as we believe that the fate of British landscape is in the balance it is as outspoken and uncompromising as its predecessor." - From the title page description of the book.
