Safe - Not Sorry (December 1967), by Phyllis Schlafly, is a heavily documented, scathing criticism of the Deep State and the politicization of the Department of Justice in the mid-1960s. It includes a lengthy discussion of the secretly fomented race riots in Detroit, New Jersey, and other cities in 1967, and a scandal concerning a military contract for a supposedly advanced fighter jet known as "TFX". The book, which includes some humorous cartoons, lampoons the TFX as "The Flying Edsel."
This book coined the "Injustice Department" phrase (Chapter VIII, pp. 98-109).[1] It describes the Deep State's mistreatment of General Edwin Walker, which included imprisoning him in solitary confinement (pp. 101-02).
This book contains about 42,000 words.
