1940508775The Weekly Foreign Letter 1940. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. NEAR FINE/Very Good. Stated 'Second Edition' but possibly the First. Judge for yourself in light of the dust jacket: 'The Dynamics of War and Revolution was printed bound and ready the Middle of May for publication by one of the country's oldest and largest publishing houses. Then came the battle of France and the fifth column hysteria in the United States and the publishers made a last minute decition not to publish the book. Thereafter for six weeks the author unsuccessfully sought a publisher. In the meantime he bought from the publisher the plates and books already printed and bound under the imprint of the publisher. The author has had these books rebound and is now offering the public under the imprint of The Weekly Foreign Letter a private publication he writes and mails weekly.' Whether this copy is from the orignal Harper's sheets or a second printing from the plates Dennis aquired is unclear. xxxi 259pp. 8vo burgundy cloth gilt stamped spine lettering and tri-band blindstamped rules. Some offsetting to the endpapers one creased page surprisingly clean and sharp otherwise; DJ tips worn price-clipped spine toned now wrapped in mylar. Scarce in trade. An anti-interventionist manifesto laying the author's view of international war as the handmaiden of capitalistic imperialism. 'Lawrence Dennis accused the Roosevelt administration of expoloiting international crisis to relieve domestic ills in his Dynamics of War and Revolution a charge first levied in his Coming American Fascism.' Justus Doenecke The Literature of Isolationism. Seeing Capitalism and Democracy as inextricably linked Dennis advocates for a revolutionary turn to one-party Socialism. Believing the present European conflict to be as great a folly as the First World War Dennis ironic favors 'giving the gullible American public what they want' as an accellerationist strategy for post-war transition to Fascist Socialism. Following Is Capitalism Doomed 1932 and The Coming American Fascism 1936 this would have been his third book published with Harper & Brothers one of the most prominent mainstream American publishing firms and hitherto publishers of numerous other anti-interventionist books. Born of an African American mother and married to a Jewish woman Lawrence Dennis was a surprising leader of American Fascism. 'Dennis defined fascism as a mixture of nationalism and corporate rationalization predicted that the United States was moving toward some form of the system and claimed to favor a 'nice' version. A former Foreign Service officer Dennis was more likely to be found debating social critic Alfred Bingham at the Harvard Club than to be seen with Pelley or Winrod on the Hustings. Fascinated by far right agitators however he acquired a reputation as the one man 'brain trust' of native fascism.' Leo Rubuffo The Old Christian Right. Dubbed 'The American Alfred Rosenberg' Dennis was one of the main defendants in the McWilliams sedition trial of 1944 in which he argued that American Fascism and Anti-Interventionism had no integral connection to a worldwide Nazi movement and was not necessarily anti-semitic or racist. Nevertheless he came to repudiate his fascist views after the war finding other grounds for his anti-war and anti-capitalism activism. The Weekly Foreign Letter hardcover

19804890Berkeley Ca: Berkeley Graphic Arts 1980. Very good. Mimeographed handbill 11 x 8.5 inches illustrated with a duotone photograph. Old soft folds minor dust-soiling. A biting satirical handbill juxtaposing a photographic image of an older Governor Ronald Reagan possibly for one of his gubernatorial campaigns but likely as a candidate for the White House in 1976 or 1980 over a portion of a speech delivered by Adolf Hitler in Hamburg in 1932. The excerpt reads: "The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might and the Republic is in danger. Yes danger from within and without. We need law and order. Yes without law and order our nation cannot survive. Elect us and we shall restore law and order." No further comment. Berkeley Graphic Arts unknown
