Please note: Laid in is a contemporary copy of a four-page House of Commons speech by Harry R. Jackman, M.P. Toronto-Rosedale, entitled "The Billion Dollar Gift to the United Kingdom", delivered March 19, 1942. The original owner of this book was clearly a keen observer of Canada's war effort. Prior owner's name inside front board. The book itself is 306 pages with index and "supplies a comprehensive account of the impact of war on a democratic country. It is an analysis of Canada's experience during the first two years of war, written be a leading economist in a manner that makes it as interesting and clear to the layman as to the specialist." - from dust jacket. Pencil markings throughout. Only moderate wear to book which remains attractive. Above-average wear and soiling to dust jacket which is now preserved in a glossy new archival-grade Brodart cover. A sound and interesting copy. Book

Life Magazine, Vol. 67, No. 1746, April 13, 1916 "HUMILIATION ISSUE"
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

Author Not Stated
Conspiracy Against Europe: The Paris Agreements - a War Plot
155 pages. Black and white illustrations. "This book is a first attempt to analyse the Paris Agreements and to show the great dangers which they entail for all Germans and all the peoples of Europe. The book was completed at the beginning of January 1955 and does not deal with any of the written and oral secret agreements which form part of the Paris Agreements and which have, so far, been kept secret. This book is intended to be a contribution to the maintenance of peace in Europe and the reunification of Germany." - from Preface. "The main aim of the Paris and London agreements is to rearm German militarism and turn a remilitarised West Germany into a military camp of the imperialist Western Powers. It is noteworthy that every effort has been made to camouflage this decisive fact - the creation of a West German Army." - The opening lines of the book. Unmarked. Average wear. Binding intact. Decent working copy of this interesting work. Book
