Description: USA: The Reader's Digest Association, Inc, 1939. First Edition. Single Issue Magazine. Lindbergh strongly opposed American entry into WWII. In this controversial article which appeared on pages 64-67 in the early months of the war, he argued that "We, the heirs of European culture, are on the verge of a disastrous war, a war within our own family of nations, a war which will reduce the strength and destroy the treasures of the White race...Our civilization depends on peace among Western nations, and therefore on united strength. We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign races... With all the world around our borders, let us not commit racial suicide by internal conflict. We must learn from Athens and Sparta before all of Greece is lost." Unmarked with above-average wear. Binding intact. Luckett p.99; Sm 8vo. Fair .
