About This Item
New York: Jackson Press, 1919. Hardcover. xix, 159p. hardcover, bumped corner, otherwise very good. Viereck, a noted poet who had become infamous as a pro-German propagandist in WWI, here discusses how Teddy Roosevelt, with whom he had had a friendly relationship up to the early stages of WWI, had become a fierce detractor. He uses the concepts of Freudian analysis to characterize the former president. Viereck went on to serve a prison term in WWII for his actions as a Nazi agent. Renewed attention has been drawn to him by Rachel Maddow in her 2022 podcast "Ultra," about pro-Nazi propagandists in the period leading up to WWII; she discusses how several US Congressmen worked with Viereck to disseminate Nazi propaganda through isolationist channels.
