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.

THE SINS OF HOLLYWOOD, written anonymously and first published in 1922, is perhaps the most prominent anti-Hollywood polemic published during this turbulent time in film history.\nThe author (later identified as former PHOTOPLAY editor Edward Roberts) takes us on a guided tour through the seedy, disreputable, thoroughly indecent underworld that lurks beneath Hollywood's glistening, glamorous facade. It is a sensational work of moral alarmism that gives us a wild, untamed, unapologetically lurid account of Hollywood's dark side.

Review\nSOME WEIGHTY OPINIONS.\n"The 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' of the New Revolution."—WATSON'S MAGAZINE, Book Dept. New York City.\n"It will thrill a careless reader of novels or profoundly impress a statesman. It is gentle as a child and yet it is rugged as a giant."—OPIE READE.\n"That our people in this country need arousing is unquestionably true, and you have brought forward a Gabriel's trump of a very different sort from the one concerning which I have been wont to think."—FRANCES E. WILLARD.\n"I find in it evidence of great literary ability, abounding, as it does, in great wealth of imagery and vividness of detail. * * * As an example of high literary form, the book deserves unstinted praise."—CARDINAL GIBBONS.\n"'Caesar's Column,' in its vivid portrayal, will lead many to realize better the many dangers to winch our country is liable."—HON. WM. LARRABEE.\n"Certainly a very extraordinary production."—REV. BISHOP H. C. POTTER.\n"I was unable to lay it down until I had finished reading it. It should be read by every farmer in the land."—H. L. LOUCKS, President National Farmers' Alliance.\n"Bellamy looks backward upon what is impossible as well as improbable. 'Caesar's Column' looks forward to what is not only possible, but probable."—MILTON GEORGE, Founder of the Farmers' Alliance.\n"I have read 'Caesar's Column' twice and am convinced that it has been written in the nick of time. * * * I predict for the book an immense sale and a worldwide discussion."—CORINNE S. BROWN, Secretary Nationalist Club, Chicago.\n"Peculiarly timely at the present time, and should have a wide reading among thinking people."—B. O. FLOWER.\n"From the time that I received a copy of 'Caesar's Column' until after two o'clock the next morning I read with the most intense interest to the end. Only once before in my life has a book in any degree affected me like this one. That was Charles Reade's 'Put Yourself in His Place.' 'Progress and Poverty,' Bebel's 'Woman,' Gronlund's 'Commonwealth,' and even 'Looking Backward'—all have failed to arouse in me sufficient interest to receive a complete perusal. But 'Caesar's Column' will receive no such indifferent attention. To commence it is to finish it, and to finish it is in my case the creation of an impatient desire to read it again."—T. J. MORGAN.\n"The book points out tendencies which actually exist and are in need of cure. It warns us with vehemence and force of the necessity of guarding our liberties against the encroachments of monopoly and plutocracy, and of disarming corruption in government by every device that a vigilant ingenuity can supply."—GEORGE CARY EGGLESTON in New York World.\n"I began the book in the morning, and read it carefully to the end the same day. It is exceedingly interceding as s narrative and is written by a man of thought, learning and imagination. I consider 'Caesar's Column' the best work of its class—prophetic forecasts of the future of civilized society—that has appeared since Bulwer's 'Coming Race.' The difficulty of conveying without heaviness the author's views as to the elements and organization of a true society has been met with rare ability. The views themselves, in their general scope, are sound and wise, and such as those who have the welfare of humanity at heart would rejoice to see realized. There are, of course, almost as many plans of reform as there are reformers, but the present author's scheme is open to as few objections as any that I have seen advanced.\n"I was impressed with the power of the book—the vividness and strength with which the tragic incidents of the tale are described and developed. The plot is absorbing, and yet nothing in it seems forced; and the conception of the column is as original as its treatment is vigorous. There is no padding in the book; the events are you portrayed tersely and clearly. The analysis of the steps which lead society from the point at which it stands to-day, to that which it occupies a century hence, is reasonable and saga

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.
