Defend America First$13.95 0-87004-433-8 Caxton Press Garet Garrett In 1939, much of the world was at war. In the United States, President Franklin D. Roosevelt believed America eventually would be forced to join the conflict. FDR launched a campaign to rally citizens and Congress to the cause. But Roosevelt’s efforts to involve the United States in did not go unopposed. Roosevelt’s situation was, in many respects, similar to problems facing the present administration. It is this battle between competing views about the necessity and the wisdom of involving the United States in the war in Europe that is detailed in Defend America First: the Antiwar Editorials of the Saturday Evening Post, 1939-1942. Garet Garrett, editorial writer for the Saturday Evening Post, was one of the most outspoken and articulate voices for the “America First” movement that opposed the war. Garrett dared to take on the political powerhouse that was the Roosevelt administration in order to warn his readers against the dangers of using the American military to protect Europe against the growing Nazi threat. Garrett later paid dearly for those views. The editorials in Defend America First were selected by Seattle Times editorial writer Bruce Ramsey. In his introduction, Ramsey notes there are similarities between the debate in America in the late 1930s and early ‘40s and today’s events. Ramsey points out that Garrett wasn’t unwilling to fight Hitler. He was unwilling to pick a fight, especially when the country wasn’t ready. Garrett’s belief that FDR’s actions were unconstitutional helped fuel his vehement editorials opposing the Roosevelt foreign policy. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, paperback, 308 pages, index.

Ex America$16.95 ISBN 0-87004-442-7 Caxton Press Garet Garrett Edited by Bruce Ramsey For fifty years Garet Garrett's The People's Pottage has stood as one of the seminal works outlining the intellectual debate that raged over F.D.R.'s ambitious restructuring of the American body politic. Garet Garrett, editorial writer for The Saturday Evening Post, was one of the country's most eloquent and vehement opponents of the Roosevelt administration's post-depression policies. Policies that, in Garrett's view, endangered the very fabric of the American republic. The three monographs that make up Ex America are collected in a hardcover anniversary edition with a new foreword by Garrett historian Bruce Ramsey. Garrett has put down in these monographs all there is to be said about the real danger to our civilization. I would say that if every American in the country were to read them the danger could be averted.

Salvos Against the New Deal$12.95 0-87004-425-7 Caxton Press Garet Garrett Edited by Bruce Ramsey Caxton Press is one of the country's best known publishers of Western Americana. But Caxton also has a reputation that dates back more than a half century as a publisher of books about the libertarian political philosophy. President Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" plan to pull the nation out of the Great Depression has been hailed as a landmark in American history. Many people aren't aware that Roosevelt also had critics who believed there were better ways to turn the country around without making citizens more dependent on government. One of F. D. R.'s best known New Deal opponents was Garet Garrett, financial writer for the Saturday Evening Post. For nearly a decade, Garrett was one of the few columnists of national stature willing to speak out against expansion of the federal bureaucracy. Salvos Against the New Deal is a collection of Saturday Evening Post columns written by Garrett attacking the trend toward big government. Garrett's analysis of Roosevelt's recovery plan has stood the test of time well when examined in the cold light of the events of the past sixty years. His writings also offer food for thought relevant to the nation's present economic situation. [Add to Cart] [View Cart] |

Unsanctioned Voice Garet Garrett, Journalist of the Old Right $17.95 978-0-87004-465-6 Caxton Press Bruce Ramsey In Unsanctioned Voice, Ramsey explores Garrett’s life and work as reflected in 14 novels and pamphlets and in dozens of essays in the <1>Saturday Evening Post, the New York Times and other publications. In the mainstream journalism of his day, Garrett was the most eloquent enemy of Franklin Roosevelt’s government-expanding policies at home, and the Roosevelt and Truman military commitments abroad—and Garrett paid the price for it. Unsanctioned Voice is the story of a writer who found himself on the losing side of a national debate about the limits of government—a debate that is even more crucial today. Old Right novelist and journalist Garet Garrett was one of the 20th century’s great men of letters. Yet his life and work have been largely forgotten, just when his defense of peace and freedom is needed most. All hail Bruce Ramsey and Caxton Press for helping restore him, especially with this new biography. - Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., Ludwig von Mises Institute Paper, 6x9, 309 pages, index.
