42 pages. A fascinating and important issue devoted to rousing American anger against Germany, particularly as a result of U.S. lives lost in the sinking of the Lusitania. Clearly, the people behind Life Magazine wanted the United States to become involved in WWI. Readers may draw parallels to recent history when 'fanatical Muslims' allegedly carried out the 9/11 attack, thus providing a pretext for George W. Bush to thrust his country into war in the Middle East. Covers detached from textblock. Last page almost loose. Unmarked. Above-average wear but still a quality copy of this significant piece of the historical record of America's road to entry into World War One. Magazine

191834653New York 1918. Original printed front wrapper with wrapper title as issued. 45 1 blank pp. Disbound lacking rear wrapper light rubberstamp on blank portion of wrapper. Else Very Good. Inscribed on front wrapper "To Mr. Arthur H. Masten with the warm regard of Julius M. Mayer." <br/><br/> The Cunard Steamship Company sought an adjudication that it was not liable for the horrific deaths and personal injuries suffered when a German U-Boat sank the Lusitania in 1915. Judge Mayer concludes after examining the evidence "The proof is absolute" that the "illegal act" of the German submarine commander targeting a civilian and unarmed vessel caused the tragedy. Germany acted in violation of a "simple humane and universally accepted principle" of international law that such a bedrock rule "would not be violated." <br/> Judge Mayer thus holds that the Cunard Company is not liable for the deaths and injuries. However he says "it is not to be doubted that the United States of America and her Allies will well remember the rights of those affected by the sinking of the Lusitania and when the time shall come will see to it that reparation shall be made for one of the most indefensible acts of modern times." Mayer formerly New York's attorney general was born and raised in New York City a graduate of CCNY and Columbia Law School. According to the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle 22 September 1922 Mayer was one of only two Jewish United States District Judges. unknown books
