Randolph Bourne opposed American entry into the First World War when almost every intellectual around him rushed to support it, and these essays record that dissent. Collected after his death in 1918 by his fellow editor James Oppenheim, they include “The War and the Intellectuals,” “Twilight of Idols” and the unfinished essay on the State.
Sharp, angry and still argued over, these are essential pages for anyone interested in war, dissent and American liberalism. Download the free EPUB.
