A document which should have rocked the USA to its core but was squelched by the very powers it exposed. In the course of her duties as legal analyst for the Committee, Kathryn Casey was granted access to the archived minutes of the board of directors of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. According to the Committee's Research Director Norman Dodd, it was here that Ms. Casey discovered the board's conclusion that the best way to create world government, and permanent peace, was to involve the United States in a terrible war. The Reece Committee and its findings came to prominence decades later when Norman Dodd, Research Director for the Committee, came forward with stunning revelations of the Committee's findings. Printed for the use of the committee, this booklet contains pages 627-665b from the printed hearings. Includes 20 tables, 12 charts and 10 data sheets. Moderate wear. Unmarked. Crease to lower corner. A sound copy of this powerful document. Book

pp. [6], 7-181. Index. Maps and diagrams. "This book may help the reader to understand what secret forces are at the back of the many civil wars, strikes and acts of sabotage, that are so typical of our epoch, and how these are organized and conducted. The People's War destroys the soul of a nation, systematically leading it into disobedience and disrespect of law and order. As in all revolutions, the People's War means complete chaos, a savage struggle in which the end justifies the means, and vengeance, trickery, and even treachery, play a great part." - Introduction.

Very Good Turkish Original wrappers. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 13 cm). In Turkish. 305, [1] p., errata. Extremely rare in this condition and in original wrappers. Fading on spine, slight stains on cover. Untrimmed. Otherwise a very good copy. Repaired by tape on the front cover's bottom corner. Yorulmaz's rare first Turkish translation of 'Das Kapital' has been the subject of many 'translation studies'. The most important work in the entrepreneurship of Yorulmaz's left thought repertoire that was published within his cultural series was 'Sermaye [= Das Kapital]'. Published as the 7th book of 'the Capital Culture Series', an abridged translation of Das Kapital by Karl Marx. Yorulmaz wrote about his translation: "I had an experience on these empty days and I am translating and publishing a loyal story of 14 volumes, "Das Kapital", collected by Gabriel Dövil. If this abridged edition is requested, I will finally begin with these 14 volumes, starting in June 1937, and translating four every year." Yorulmaz had translated 'Das Kapital' to Turkish from Gabrielle Deville's French translation which was an abridged edition. According to his comments, the purpose of Yorulmaz was, if this abridged edition is requested or demanded he would translate full text of 'Das Kapital'. However, he couldn't realize this dream. Nevertheless, the effect of the 'Sermaye' in the Turkish leftist thought had been considerable. As "Capital" was the first translation of "Das Kapital" into Turkish, it functioned at that time to fill the gap that existed in terms of socialist thought. He was concerned with knowing Karl Marx's thoughts, and therefore in his preface to 'Sermaye', he described his intellectual approach as "[one] sect which is one of the deepest thoughts and has made the biggest earthquake in the world in social and political life". In his preface, he wrote: "We have nothing but a small realized interference about Karl Marx's study in the law school in Ankara by Cavit Bey and the Turkish attorney Sükrü Kaya Bey, five to ten pages of translations." (Source: Haydar Rifat Yorulmaz'in çevirileri, (1908-1940): Bir sol düsünce 'repertuvari'nin kurulusu, Bilal Çelik). In the preface of the 1888 English Edition of 'Das Kapital', Engels says "I was told that the Armenian translation, which was expected to be published in Istanbul a few months ago, did not see the light of day because the publisher was afraid to release a book bearing the name of Marx, while the translator refused to show it as his own work.". (Das Kapital in Turkey, Savran & Tonak). Haydar Rifat was a Turkish lawyer, intellectual, translator and author. He brought the works of world-famous writers such as Emil Ludwig, Lenin, Gustav, Balzac, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Karl Marx into Turkish; he published his translations under the series titled 'Dün ve Yarin Tercüme Külliyati' [i.e. Yesterday and Tomorrow as Translation]. In addition, many articles he wrote in the fields of law and literature appeared in various newspapers and magazines. Not in OCLC.

The "Union of Socialists-Revolutionaries Maximalists was a political party in the Russian Empire, a radical wing expelled from the Socialist-Revolutionary Party in 1906. The Union united agrarian terrorists, the 'Moscow Opposition' and other radical dissidents from the PSR in an independent party. The Maximalists officially split off from the PSR at its Second Congress in Imatra in 1906. Maximalists played a role in both the Revolution of 1905 and the Revolution of 1917. Many former SR Maximalists eventually joined the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik) .Maximalists were so called because they demanded the full implementation of the 'maximum programme' in the expected revolution: full socialisation of the land, factories and all other means of production. The orthodox Socialist-Revolutionaries wanted to start with land reform but defer socialisation of other means of production. The Maximalists also rejected the PSR's version of a 'two-stage' revolution, a theory associated with V.M. Chernov. According to Chernov, the coming revolution in Russia would not be purely 'bourgeois-democratic' as the Social-Democrats claimed, but would include social and economic as well as political reforms. It would be a 'popular-democratic' revolution, and would transition into a full-blown 'labour-socialist' revolution later on. The Maximalists rejected this as Social-Democratic 'attentism' and argued that the coming Russian revolution would not be able to stop half-way; it was the two-stage theory, not Maximalism, that was unrealistic if it thought the toiling masses, once liberated, would content themselves with a bourgeois republic and gradual reforms."

18 voll. in 8 grande tutti ben rilegati in mz. tl. coeva con titoli e annate stampigliati in oro al dorso. Diciotto annate consecutive complete dal giugno 1944 al 1961 della rivista, fondata da Palmiro Togliatti, che fu l'espressione ideologica del PCI. La rivista inauguro' il corso delle sue pubblicazioni con il no 1 del giugno del 1944, dopo la liberazione di Roma, con il nome "La Rinascita" che poi divenne nel gennaio del '45 "Rinascita" con l'aggiunta del sottotitolo "Rassegna di politica e di cultura italiana". Il nome rimane invariato fino alla cessazione delle pubblicazioni nel 1989. La periodicita' fu mensile fino all'aprile del 1962 per divenire poi settimanale quando si affianco' alla rivista anche il supplemento "Il Contemporaneo". Rinascita conservo' l'originaria struttura editoriale sino ai primi anni Sessanta, quando vennero introdotti alcuni cambiamenti per renderla piu' aderente alle trasformazioni che investivano l'Italia in quel decennio. Dopo la morte di Togliatti, nel 1964, alla direzione si alternarono molti dirigenti del Partito: Gian Carlo Pajetta, Luca Pavolini, Alessandro Natta, Gerardo Chiaromonte, Alfredo Reichlin... Sospese la pubblicazione dall'agosto 1989 sino al gennaio 1990, quando usci' con un nuovo formato e una nuova numerazione, sotto la direzione di Alberto Asor Rosa. Togliatti, in due interventi nel primo numero, firmandosi nel primo Ercoli e nel secondo Togliatti, spiega che i comunisti rappresentavano l'avanguardia di tutte le forze nazionali, che il vecchio partito di sovversivi si era trasformato nel partito dell'unita' "della classe operaia, delle forze antifasciste, unita' di tutta la nazione...". Togliatti affida dunque a Rinascita il compito di costruire l'ideologia del "partito nuovo" pubblicando fin da subito articoli destinati a definire i caratteri del rinnovato Partito comunista. Oltre ad essere formalmente il direttore, Togliatti era anche personalmente coinvolto nella scelta degli articoli e nel controllo dei loro contenuto. I ledear del partito scrivevano su Rinascita cosi' come un nutrito gruppo di intellettuali, storici, filosofi, giuristi, critici letterari di estrazione non comunista. Tra i collaboratori politici: Pajetta, Pavolini, Natta, Chiaromonte, Coppola, Ferrara, Reichlin, Ledda, Pietro Ingrao, Armando Cossutta, Luciano Lama, Giorgio Amendola, Franco Calamandrei, Luigi Longo, Giorgio Napolitano. La rivista era principalmente caratterizzata da contributi di argomento socio politico ed economico, tuttavia un certo spazio era riservato anche alle arti e alla rassegna letteraria. Fra gli altri si segnalano interventi sul cinema di Carlo Lizzani, Vittorio De Sica, Virgilio Tosi, interventi sul teatro di Luchino Visconti, sulle biennali di Guttuso... Fra i critici letterari le principali firme erano Manacorda, Sapegno, Chiarini, Ferretti...

Nella prefazione Zinoviev racconta la genesi di questa opera, progettata nel 1908 per celebrare il 25esimo anniversario della morte di Marx, ma proibita dalla polizia zarista, e quindi pubblicata solo all'indomani della Rivoluzione d'Ottobre.
