BREWSTER, Harold S. Madness of War. New York and London: Harper and Brothers. 1928. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s black cloth lettered in red to the spine and upper board and decorated here, in the dust jacket which uses a potent design, sadly uncredited. An about fine copy. The cloth clean and bright, with a few mild marks to the boards. The binding tight and square, with a few light spots to the textblock edges and endpapers, else fine throughout. The dust jacket unclipped ($2.00) and complete, a trifle crimped, but fine.
A ‘fundamental philosophy for the outlawry of war’ by the Massachusetts-born reverend and author of two books, seemingly destined to ‘arouse the fiercest condemnation from “100-per-cent Americans”, jingoists, and professional patriots’ (blurb). Though infused with Brwster’s Christian principles, this is primarily a pacifist text, written with the hope and indeed expectation that the Great War would be the only war. Uncommon.
