Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : No Dust Jacket. First Edition. "A very personalized retrospective examination of World War I propaganda in the United States by one who was deeply involved in creating it - from the pro-German side. Viereck (1884-1962) describes propaganda as the primary weapon of the world's invisible government, saying the microbes it scatters infect humanity like a plague. His purpose in writing this book was to administer an antidote against this plague. Includes examples of cartoon and other propaganda." - Robert Cole on page 110 of "Propaganda in Twentieth Century War & Politics". xiv, [2]-327 pp. Index. Black and white plates. "Now that the world has become calm and reason once more rules, we can read with pleasure and interest such a book as this, and wonder how and why we so nearly lost our balance during the trying days of the Great War." - Colonel Edward M. House. During his extraordinary life Viereck published the pro-German periodical "The Fatherland", which employed Aleister Crowley and, according to Wikipedia, became close friends with Nikola Tesla. As a writer, he interviewed many of the most prominent personages of his era. Average wear to original oatmeal cloth which bears some foxing. Binding intact. Minor remnants of dust jacket (not included) affixed inside each board. Book store stamp and gift greetings upon front free endpaper. Small date stamps atop back free endpaper.
