“‘The books that help you most are those that make you think.’—Theodore Parker [American Transcendentalist and reforming minister of the Unitarian church]
“We heartily agree with this, but enlarge upon it: THE MISSION OF A BOOK IS TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK, REASON, ANALYZE, AND ACT ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
“The present text has all this in mind and in addition, to offer information, which if followed, will be of infinite benefit, especially to Americans, and to humanity as a whole, as well as to expose HORRORS ALMOST BEYOND DESCRIPTION, AND WHOLLY INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO THE AVERAGE SANE MIND. These diabolical methods have already been successfully practiced in many countries. By the frank admission of their advocates, they are general in America, and are to become universal.
“The direct impetuses for the present volume are several: First, the frank statements contained in Bertrand Russell’s book THE IMPACT OF SCIENCE ON SOCIETY, 1953 edition, describing what Fichte foresaw would be the common lot of humanity.
“Russell is an author accepted by the Intelligentsia everywhere, because the Nobel prize has been conferred upon him, and he has held positions in some of the most popular universities.
“The second reason is the ever-increasing number of requests we have received from every section of the country to continue our efforts, and render an unbiased opinion, based on the research of the past several years.”—R. Swinburne Clymer
