Rival Caesars is the little known second book by Arthur Desmond (writing under the pseudonym Desmond Dilg), aka Ragnar Redbeard, author of one of the most infamous and controversial books of all time, "Might is Right: The Survival of the Fittest." Peppered with Desmond's fascinating, unique, and thought-provoking philosophy, Rival Caesars is a wildly entertaining "alternative history" account of the famed rivalry between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr that ended in the bloody, fatal duel. Out-of-print for over a century, editor Benjamin Garland has rescued this politically incorrect book from obscurity. Sure to be appreciated by fans of "Might is Right" and casual fiction readers alike, "Rival Caesars" is a piece of history now readily available to all.

WOMEN AND WAR - By Ragnar Redbeard 
LOVE, AND WOMEN, AND WAR. 
THE LOGIC OF TO-DAY. 
WOMEN AND WAR is a reprint of Chapter VI. of "Might is Right," a book that is apparently revolutionizing the ideals of the world's strongest thinkers, and statesmen. Tolstoy in his work, "What is Art?" affirms that the author, Ragnar Redbeard (also known as Arthur Desmond), has positively startled and filled him with alarm and dread.

ARTHUR DESMOND 
A RADICAL DEMAGOGUE 
Arthur Desmond (1859-1929), a young local Napier, a common worker, a cattle-drover, came from nowhere as ‘a representative of the small settler and the working man’ when he stood for parliament in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand in 1884. Mr. Desmond caused quite a big stir in the political establishment as an unknown candidate with his strong and radical views. He lost to Captain Russel, and came last at a third place with 190 votes against Capt.Russel’s 564, and Mr. Sutton’s 381.\nThis compilation will not try to say or explain anything other than what has already been reported by the press between 1884-1885. What it will do is give you Arthur Desmond’s first ever speeches, commentary, correspondence, and articles filled with critique and praise. Poetry, and Politics—Love, and War, well, maybe not soo much love.\nLater, we have learned that Arthur Desmond lived a life under many different names, one of the most notorius was Ragnar Redbeard, under which he wrote the infamous, and supressed book Might is Right, published in 1896. Another, and much less widely known nom de plume he used for a brief period was “Keo Kaha,” a Maori signature which means Strong Point.\nEnjoy this little “scrapbook,” a time-piece of the political radical Arthur Desmond. From cattle-drover to Radical Demagogue.

Anarchy—The Coming Terror: Courage, Freedom, and Revolution

Andrews, J. A.

Review\n"The Divinity of Hate." —Violence is not necessary to hate. A calm hate is the most sincere and effectual hate. It is especially incumbent on Free Spirits, on all who desire to live their own life, to cultivate hatred of all impeding agencies, of all the parasites which suck their life-blood or steal their time. As a literary inspirer, hate holds the record—it has wrought miracles of eloquence, poesy, and song. A complete anthology of hate would include many, most, we believe, of the best inspirations of the poets and of the orators—of Shelley, of Byron, of Milton, of Mirabeau, of Danton, of Marat, of Phillips, of Ingersoll, of Aeschylus, of Heine, of Nietzsche, of Theognis. A few extracts will make clear our point. Consider the "Marseillaise."—Evening News, Sydney.\nThe Eagle And The Serpent: WHY DO THE UNGODLY PROSPER? 
• WHY DO THE UNGODLY PROSPER? 
• IS MIGHT RIGHT? 
• CAN THE POOR BE SAVED BY THE PITY OF THE RICH? 
Redbeard Versus Tolstoy 
Why Do The Ungodly Prosper? From No. 18 of “The Eagle and the Serpent” published in London in 1898. It is a symposium of opinions declared by some of the foremost sociological thinkers of Europe and America. It includes answers of Benjamin Kidd, Bernard Shaw, B. R. Tucker, Wm. H. Thompson, Geo J. Holyoake, Canon Scott Holland, Bertram Dobell, Prof. Thos Common (translator of Nietzsche). Aylmer Maude (translator of Tolstoy), and others including Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace, the great apostle of Natural Selection—who in later publications positively declares that modern civilization taken in its entirety is a clanking juggernaut. The arguments presented are positive and startling. 
This brutally outspoken egoist publication includes essays and works by Lord Erwin McCall (John Basil Barnhill), Malfew Seklew, Ragnar Redbeard. A special edition for all light-shunners out there.
