[3] Edited by Warren Hinckle and Sidney Zion, it featured politically controversial muckraking[4] and was ultimately subject to an investigation by the FBI during the Nixon administration.
According to the publishers, more than 50 printers refused to handle the January 1971 special issue Guerilla War in the USA[5] because it appeared to be promoting domestic terrorism.
The issue was finally printed in Quebec and in a German translation in Stuttgart (Guerilla-Krieg in USA, Deutsche Verlagsanstalt 1971).
[2] The September 1970 issue included an editorial entitled, "Nixon And The Bums", with an accompanying picture of President Richard M. Nixon having lunch with a group of construction union leaders who attended the so-called White House Hard Hat Luncheon.
To advertise the issue, Scanlan's ran two full-page ads in the New York Times, which were noticed by the White House.
