Seller's Description:
Good. viii, [2], 125, [1] pages. Contains footnotes and index. Suggested reading slip pasted inside rear cover. Some discoloration and wear to covers. Carleton Putnam (December 19, 1901-March 5, 1998) was an American businessman, biographer, writer, and segregationist. He graduated from Princeton University in 1924 and received a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B. ) from Columbia Law School in 1932. He founded Chicago & Southern Airlines in 1933, which in 1953 was merged with Delta Air Lines. He would later serve as chief executive officer of Delta Air Lines. His best known book is entitled Race and Reason, an advocacy of racial segregation that originated in a letter he wrote to President Dwight Eisenhower protesting the end of segregation in U.S. public schools. According to Putnam, the impetus for his letter to Eisenhower was the concurring opinion of Justice Frankfurter in Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1, (the Little Rock). Putnam critiques Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), calling for its reversal. This was the first major book to address race and racial differences in a calm, educated and sophisticated manner just as the "Civil Rights" revolution, Written by one of America's most successful businessmen, Race and Reason is a question and answer format book dealing with race, racial differences, and which answer many liberal arguments--and counter arguments--with reason, compassion and intellect. It addresses the issues of physical, mental and psychological racial differences, backed up with research, statistics and analysis--and proves conclusively that integration can only lead to the harming of all races, and the destruction of Western European civilization. Genetic racial limitations should have been clear. All history taught it. All free science confirmed it. Few but a patently self-serving minority of investigators contested it. Yet the leading nation of the free world embraced the fallacy, used its influence in foreign affairs in support of it, and corrupted its own people in its name."--From the conclusion.
