The Gravediggers was a bestselling political book in 1964 by Phyllis Schlafly, co-authored by Chester Ward (Rear Admiral, United States Navy (Ret.)).
This book is an early criticism of the Deep State. For example, this book deplored a statement by Arthur Silvester, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Information, on Dec. 6, 1962 that:
| “ | It's an inherent government right, if necessary, to lie to save itself.[1] | ” |
The "gravediggers" are liberals who used their positions in the Deep State to betray the interests of average Americans.
At 119 pages long plus pages of endnotes, this opposed a policy of appeasement and supported military strength against communism.
This book supported General Barry Goldwater for president.
