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

193787673London: Eyre & Spottiswoode 1937. First Edition. First impression. Octavo. Red cloth hardcover; dustjacket; xx1-139pp. Tight clean straight copy Very Good or better. In the original dustwrapper unclipped priced 10s. 6d. net on front flap complete but toned on spine panel with general overall rubbing and soil just VG. <br /> <br /> An attempt to solve the "age-old problem of scent" among foxhunters this cataloguer for one can smell them a mile away and to "work out a perfectly simple instrument which will tell the hunting man exactly the percentage of chances of scent on any day at any time." Pollard in addition to being an avid huntsman was a British Special Operations officer an early member of MI6 and the author of numerous works on small arms a subject in which he was a recognized expert. In reviewing Pollard's colorful if rather dubious career it occurs to us that being smelt ought to have been fairly low on his list of worries: during the Irish War he conducted two legendarily byzantine and ultimately bungled false flag campaigns against the Nationalists; some years afterwards in the Spanish Civil War taking the side of the Fascists he served as Franco's personal courier and later defended the bombing of Guernica as "a perfectly legitimate target." Stench enough there to put an entire county's worth of vulpine citizens on high alert. Eyre & Spottiswoode unknown
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

43263N.p. n.d. Nashville 1957. Handbill 8-1/2" x 7" ca 22cm x 18cm. Printed from typescript one-side only on white paper. Mild evidence of use; Near Fine. <br /> <br /> Presumably self-published handbill by an anonymous "Nashville Woman" arguing for the innocence of segregationist gadfly John Kasper who served an eight month sentence for conspiracy in 1957 and suggesting that space ships full of "little green men" i.e. communists were taking over city halls police departments and state houses throughout the South bringing with them an alien ideology of racial integration. "Yes friends 'beware' for the little green men have landed and we can most assuredly point them out. All white citizens must join hands in this mighty crusade for freedom." An illustrative relic of the tiny intersection of Sputnik fever and white supremacy; undated but given the repeated references to Kasper and to "satellite news" 1957 seems a safe bet. unknown

Column two with four caricatures headlined "Camp Instructions" and a statement by the Belgium water pool player Maurice Blitz stressing the Olympic idea as being a fraternity in honest struggle with respect for the adversary. But who today would dare to claim that the Olympic Games in Berlin deserve such and interpretation.<br /> <br /> Page seven is headlined "Physical Culture in the III. Reich" showing a photograph with men lined up against a wall with their hand up secured by a group of policemen. Underneath a quote from the German Sports Manual: "a true sportsman must not limit himself to contributing to the fight against the Jews but he must also help to isolate the Aryans who do not subscribe to the eviction of the Jews." The right column features quotes with notes aimed at foreigners from various European sources and newspapers.<br /> <br /> The two columns on the last page feature a statement German poet Hans Johst headlined "Propaganda for abroad" announcing that Jews and non-Aryan Germans are prohibited from participating in the Olympic art competitions. The column on the right is a statement by Justin Godard former Minister of Health headlined "The Heirs of Greek Civilization." and we think rather that today's Germany would have burned the literary masterpieces of Aeschylus and Herodotus forced into exile Plato imprisons Demosthene who directed his "philippics" against Philip of Macedon who enslaved the party!<br /> <br /> Text in French.
