réf. 509829Norton 1976. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. VERY GOOD/Good. SIGNED and inscribed by Stoessinger to the book's dedicatee Hans J. Morgenthau. The printed dedication reads 'For Hans J. Morgenthau / Who Always Spoke / Truth to Power / With Deep Affection' which Stoessinger completes writing in a felt pen: ' / Always / from / John / July 1976.' PROVENANCE: From Morgenthau's daughter Susanna Morgenthau. First Printing. x 234pp. 12mo sewn binding in black spine cloth over gray paper over board gilt spine lettering. Showing evidence of Morgenthau's reading and handling with scuffed edges some bent pages and a few spots of foxing; DJ tips worn torn at rear head spine toned. Stoessinger was a longtime friend of Kissinger's and a fellow student at Harvard. He writes a sympathetic account of Kissinger's political career at the time of it's nadir in popular opinion following failures in Vietnam and the Middle East. 'This book is an effor to redress the balance' between 'uncritical idealization' and 'merciless attack' of Kissinger. Hans Morgenthau was one of the most influential political theorists of the 20th century and author of modern classics Scientific Man vs. Power Politics and Politics Among Nations which are credited as seminal works in the field of International Relations. Stoessinger quotes and references regularly in the book first as Kissinger's enormously influential teacher and mentor in 'Political Realism' and later as one of the most prominent and early critics of his Vietnam and Middle East policy. Stoessinger quotes Morgenthau as saying to him personally that 'he felt emotionally toward Kissinger as if he were a brother. Their common background as well as their common experience of tragedy provided a strong and lasting bond.' p. 37. Norton hardcover
1971réf. 509842Random House 1971. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. VERY GOOD/Good. SIGNED by co-author Marcus Raskin and inscribed to political philosopher Hans Morgenthau: 'For Hans With love and respect for who you are what you've done and what you will do. Signed Marc Raskin / Sept. 1971.' x 2 374pp. Sewn binding in black cloth over boards. Silver gilt-titled spine and blindstamped title to front cover. Marcus Raskin's signature and inscription to FFEP. DJ sunned at spine and edges. Small tears along DJ edges. Small crack in DJ spine not impacting integrity of DJ. Smudge to top edge of pages. Otherwise pages and covers clean and unmarked. Raskin was the author of many books and the founder of the progressive thinktank Institute for Policy Studies. Washington Plans an Aggressive War--written at the height of the conflict in Vietnam--'is a view of what happened in the Vietnam war why it happened and what steps need to be taken to prevent it from happening again . the war was no accident ; it was not the result of incalculable errors but was rather the consequence of calculable plans and decisions to proceed with them.' In laying out their case the authors make extensive use of 'The Pentagon Papers' -- Raskin was one of the first recipients of copies from Daniel Ellsberg of the 7000-page top-secret history of US involvement in Vietnam. His heartfelt inscription to Hans Morgenthau makes for a very special association. Following his landmark works Scientific Man vs. Power Politics and Politics among Nations Morgenthau had become one of the most prominent political theorists in America. He was sought out as an advisor by the Kennedy administration but his outspoken criticism of US policy in Vietnam led to his ouster by LBJ. He continued as one of the most prominent critics throughout the duration of the war. PROVENANCE: From Hans Morgenthau's daughter Susanna Morgenthau. Random House hardcover

With publisher's original plain brown dust jacket quite brittle and tattered; original plain slipcase present in a tattered state as well. Provenance: From Hans Morgenthau's daughter Susanna Morgenthau. The penciling matches that of the dozens of other books we have cataloged from his library. The Catholic jurist and political philosopher Carl Schmitt was one of the most influential political thinkers of the 20th Century in no small part for his role in establishing the ideological underpinnings of the Third Reich. He was unavoidably a key interlocutor for all German political scholars of the Weimar Era including Hans Morgenthau who would go on to become one of the most influential political thinkers of the 20th century in his own right from a much different but related vantage point.William Scheuerman writes 'the young Hans Morgenthau was involved in an intense 'hidden dialogue' with Carl Schmitt twentieth-century Germany’s most significant right-wing authoritarian political thinker.' 'Although committed to a sociologically minded analysis of international law shaped by left-wing Weimar legal thought the young Morgenthau turned early on to the work of the right-wing authoritarian thinker Carl Schmitt in order to develop his realistic or sociological approach. Morgenthau's precocious fascination with Schmitt though at first glance surprising is by no means difficult to fathom. Other members of the Sinzheimer School - including Ernst Frankel and Franz Neumann - similarly pursued a close and at times surprisingly sympathetic examination of Schmitt's work during the 1930s. Like Morgenthau they vociferously criticized his extreme right-wing political preferences while acknowledging that Schmitt offered the outlines of a realistic i.e. power-oriented vision of politics too often missing from mainstream jurisprudence and legal positivism. Morgenthau's early writings highlighted deep flaws in Schmitt's thinking not only denouncing his political choices but ultimately describing his theory as fundamentally unsound. Yet he credited Schmitt with acknowledging the need for precisely that realistic account of power relations in the international arena which legal orthodoxy had failed to deliver. Like Morgenthau Schmitt had long been skeptical of mainstream international law which he analogously interpreted as veiling the brutal realities of inequality at the international level. Morgenthau initially appears to have identified Schmitt's theory despite its weaknesses and troublesome political orientation as a potentially useful source of insights for his own alternative theory of international law. Morgenthau's first mention of Schmitt in 1929 . offered a critical response to a widely read 1927 essay by Schmitt in which the right-wing theorist had defined the political as constituting a fundamentally distinct and independent sphere of activity existing alongside alternative modes of human activity. In Schmitt's initial formulation morality concerned the problem of good and bad aesthetics was occupied with the distinction between beautiful and ugly economics was preoccupied with profitability and unprofitability whereas only politics concerned the contrast between what Schmitt famously described as friend and foe. The young Morgenthau astutely diagnosed the Achilles' heel of this position: Schmitt's exposition misleadingly implied that political activity was limited to a pre-given set of objects or concerns thereby obscuring the possibility that any conceivable sphere of activity could take on political qualities. In its stead Morgenthau proposed that politics be described as 'a characteristic quality or coloration which any substance can take on' IRWG 67. The distinctive attribute of political activity was captured best by focusing on the degree of intensity of the conflict at hand. Although drawing their substantive concerns from any of a host of moral aesthetic and economic arenas of human activity identifiably political concerns were those in which a high degree of intensity of conflict had surfaced IRWG 69. Even though he admitted the difficulty of determining at what specific juncture a particular conflict had become intense and thus authentically political Morgenthau insisted that his alternative model of intensity offered a superior way of capturing the distinctive traits of political life. In his view politics was never an either/or state of affairs but always a matter of degree necessarily depending on how intense - and potentially violent - a conflict had become. Schmitt apparently agreed. As Morgenthau noted in his 1978 autobiographical reflections Schmitt subsequently 'changed the second 1932 edition of the Concept of the Political in the light of the new propositions of my thesis without lifting the veil of anonymity from their author.'47 In fact Schmitt's 1932 study dropped the misleading imagery of politics as a distinct or separate sphere instead following Morgenthau's conceptualization of politics as concerning conflicts characterized by intense enmity. Yet Schmitt never bothered to acknowledge his debts to the young left-leaning Jewish Morgenthau. For a politically upwardly mobile right-wing thinker busy cultivating influence with Germany's rising authoritarian political groupings such an admission would have been incon-venient. In his 1978 comments Morgenthau went so far as to accuse Schmitt of having engaged in mean-spirited plagiarism. He recounted a humiliating 1929 meeting with Schmitt in which Morgenthau hoped to discuss their shared interest in the political only to encounter a calculating mean-spirited careerist: 'when I walked down the stairs from Schmitt's apartment I stopped on the landing between his and the next floor and said to myself: 'Now I have met the most evil man alive.' Schmitt's subsequent kowtowing to the Nazis apparently did not take Morgenthau by surprise.' Morgenthau: Key Contemporary Thinkers 32-34. Duncker & Humboldt hardcover

1975réf. 509828Prentice Hall 1975. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. NEAR FINE/Very Good. SIGNED by Robert J. Myers and incribed 'To Hans Morgenau / With affection admiration and appreciation. / All good wishes / Bob. / June 23 75'. ix 182pp. 12mo perfectbound in red paper-over-board hardcovers. Some offsetting to the endpapers otherwise a clean sharp copy; DJ toned and shelfworn with some rubbont to the spine ends and two short tears. Robert Myers is credited as the co-creator of the American Social Security serving in the department continually from the time of his appointment by FDR in 1934 and holding the longest term as Chief Actuary of Social Security from 1947-1970. Hans Morgenthau was one of the foremost political theorists of the 20th century. He arrived in the US in 1937 as a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany going on to a distinguished carreer with appointments and professorships at numberous prestigious institutions including Yale Harvard Columbia California and the University of Chicago. Morgenthau's outsize impact on the study of international relations in the West cannot be underestimated. His 'Political Realism' theory was immensely influential in American Politics notably gaining purchase in his consultancy for Truman Eisenhower and Kennedy as well as in his protege Henry Kissinger. Dubbing him 'the Pope of Realism' Stanley Hoffman writes 'If our discipline has any founding father it is Mortenthau.' William Scheuerman writes 'Morgenthau's intellectual agenda effectively dominated the scholarly study of international relations in the United States well into the 1970's. Not only did Morgenthau write two of postwar Realism's most influential books Politics Among Nations and In Defense of the National Interest but he penned about a dozen others as well as hundreds of scholarly articles on an astonishing range of topics. Unlike most academics Morgenthau also became a much sought-after public intellectual and his oftentimes pithy commentaries on foreign affairs appeared regularly in popular magazines and journals as well as newspapers like the New York Times from the 1950s onwards.'.

1945réf. 140948892New York and London: Harper & Brothers 1945. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition first printing. A remarkable association copy not only signed by author Henry Morgenthau on the front free endpaper and inscribed to the then-President of the book's publisher known for picking Pulitzer Prize winners: "For Cass Canfield a swell Publisher with sincere affection." Additionally it is signed in pencil on the book's title page by one its primary ghostwriters government official Harry Dexter White with Morgenthau's name suggestively crossed-out. As White's biographer David Rees put it "White was now to supervise the writing of a book by Treasury staff explaining the Morgenthau Plan eventually published a year later under Morgenthau's name as Germany is Our Problem." Morgenthau himself acknowledged White's role in the signed copy he gave White in 1945 cited in James Boughton's Harry White and the American Creed. In 1948 a handwritten note by White to Whittaker Chambers would embroil him in a covert hunt for Soviet moles within the U.S. government. He died that year but five years later his face would grace newspapers all over the world as he was accused of being a spy for the Soviet Union connected to the network of Nathan Silvermaster. His degree of culpability remains debated to this day although release of the Venona decrypts provided damning evidence. The posthumous nature of White's notoriety has meant that his signature is extremely rare especially on books rather than documents. viii 4 ix - xiii iii 239 pp. foldout map printed on speckled wartime paper. Bound in publisher's navy cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Near Fine light rubbing to extremities dulled gilt and dust jacket clipping tipped to front pastedown. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with lightly worn with a few small tape repairs to verso. Uncommon especially in such nice shape. The book outlines what would become known as The Morgenthau Plan for postwar Germany. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury called for the defeated enemy's radical total deindustrialization decentralization and transformation into a pastoral society. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt regretted his initial support for Morgenthau's plan after it was vigorously decried at home and abroad and his successor favored the less vengeful and more pragmatic Marshall Plan. White's role in formulating the plan that would bear his superior at the Treasury Department's name remains little-known as it itself has fallen into obscurity since the early Cold War. Less controversial was White's role in co-founding both the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Harper & Brothers unknown books
