PATRIOTISM LTD, An exposure of the War Machine, Union of Democratic Control, 1933

Information

‘Patriotism, Ltd., with a striking colour design by McKnight Kauffer on the cover, is a mine of well-documented and not readily accessible facts about the preparation for the next war. It is happily timed to appear at a moment when the international control of armaments is the one disarmament proposal that still retains any semblance of life. The secretary of the Union of Democratic Control, who is generally known to be the author is to be congratulated on a piece of work which is careful as well as startling, which indulges in the minimum of rhetoric, and which relies for its effect on the presentation of vitally important facts, many of which have not been stated.’
From a 1933 Press cutting.
