Very good.</p><p>The Indian philosopher and social reformer Keshub Chandra Sen 1838-1884 sought to incorporate Christian theology within Hindu thought. Residing at the Jorasanko house of the Tagore family Sen first embraced the philosophy of the Brahma Samaj led by Debendranath Tagore but broke away as he started to believe that only Christian doctrine could bring change to India. His doctrine for "Love for the Sovereign" led to his invitation to England and his meeting with the Queen in 1870. Despite his expressing support for women's education while in England Sen kept knowledge and education away from women back home which led to a conflict with the feminist and women's rights reformer Annette Akroyd. Many of his followers left him following the underage child marriage of his daughter in 1878. Sen was a Christian when he met Ramakrishna who influenced his philosophy. Sen then established his new dispensation a universal religion expressing worship of God as the Mother of all religions.</p><p>Keshub Chandra Sen arrived in Leeds on August 27th 1870 preaching a sermon at Mill Hill Chapel the following day August 28th on "The Living God in England and India".</p><p>RARE.</p> Leeds, August 29, 1870.

"Who committed the greatest crime of this age The Italians Japanese or Germans Wrong. It is the Allies. They planned it in the Potsdam agreement and got their justification for it in our American Morgenthau Plan. There is nothing in all history to equal it except perhaps the fact that there is neither an outcry against these atrocities by the peoples of other nations nor any action by goverments with power to take it. This collection of articles is published as one small little outcry against the atrocities of the peace and as one little torchlight against this perhaps greater atrocity the slimy conspiracy of silence on the part of those who while 'smearing' the vanquished in self-shielding war crimes trials are committing the most large-scale lootings rapings and expulsions in literally all of Christian history." - Foreword.

1997735j0713Toronto: Little Brown & Company Canada Limited. Good in Good dust jacket. 1997. Canadian Edition. Hardcover. 0316640700 . "More than nine million Germans died as a result of Allied starvation and expulsion policies in the first five years after the Second World War - a total far in excess of the figures actuall y reported. That these deaths occurred at all is still being concealed and denied especially by Western governments. However while this titanic revenge was taking place Western leaders strongly opposed to the betrayal of Christian ideals were desperately seeking to bring help to the Germans as part of a policy to aid starving people around the world. This book is the extraordinary story of what happened to these people and why: it rips the mask from a suppressed atrocity and exposes our breathtaking capacity for kindness and cruelty." - dust jacket.
