1953237j0879London: Britons Publishing Society. Good in Good dust jacket. 1953. Fourth Edition - Revised and Enlarged. Hardcover. "On the surface it would seem madness for millionaires to strive for Communism but there is irrefutable evidence that they do so strive and in Russia have in fact created a dictatorship which masquerades under the name of Communism while its only real achievement has been the liquidation of the gentile aristocracy and every Christian institution. The facts revealed in this book including the detailed plan for world revolution and world government discovered long before the first world war are so damning that no newspaper would dare to offend British readers by denying the truth. Hence the discreet silence in the Press and the slowness with which vital knowledge is spread. Their aim is a World State and a Slave State in which the masters will be of one tribe and one religious persuasion. There may be only a short time in which to learn the truth and act upon it." - dust jacket. 8-267 p. Index. Rubber stamp upon back free endpaper otherwise tanned contents clean and unmarked.

"Re-examines the record in order better to appreciate the past and present problems of Europe political and economic. The career of Hjalmar Schacht happens to be an excellent mirror for those problems: why democracy fell in Germany as it had in much of the world; why the unspeakable Nazi came to despotic power over one of the most cultured and civilized nations of the world; whether dictatorships are better qualified to deal with the complexities of industrial life; why foreign trade in the post-war world departed so far from the cherished principles of the nineteenth century; how and why war came to Europe and the world in 1939; how the citizen can react to the modern police state; what can be done to remove a modern dictator or whether it is possible at all; whether one major trend of the modern world class struggle can be replaced by the other nationalism; whether 'strong-man-rule' is the proper solution to the 'Bolshevik Danger'; what action can be taken to curb the dominant trend in the economy toward inflation; how should peace-loving powers treat a fanatical dictator - with force or with conciliation. It is a study of these basic problems of modern civilization rather than merely as the study of an individual who sought and obtained world-wide fame that this work was attempted." - Foreword.

Spanning three eventful decades from the appointment of Abdullah as Emir in 1921 to his assassination in 1951 it focuses in particular on the clandestine diplomacy and the political and military processes which determined the fate of Palestine between 1947 and 1950 and which left the Palestinian Arabs without a homeland. Proves conclusively that Abdullah not only colluded with the Zionists to gain control over as much of Arab Palestine a possible but that he also received occasional payments for his collaboration.

It is believed that the facts adduced in the following pages will be productive of some good in pointing out the immense evils lurking in that system of banking - a system which has produced panics at will and which is the active abettor of the stock gamblers railroad wreckers and those industrial tyrants of modern times the enormously overcapitalized and oppressive trusts. It is sought to point out the great dangers of delegating purely government powers to these greedy monopolists by which they are enabled to organize a money trust far more tyrranical than all the other combinations now in existence; and by which they absolutely defy the authority that endowed them with corporate life." - from Introduction.
