Frenzied Liberty: The Myth Of A Rich Man�������s War is a book written by Otto Hermann Kahn in 1918. The book is a critical analysis of the United States’ involvement in World War I, and it challenges the popular belief that the war was fought for democracy and freedom. Kahn argues that the war was, in fact, a ''rich man’s war'' that was fought for economic and political gain.Kahn was a prominent banker and philanthropist, and he used his wealth and influence to advocate for peace during the war. In Frenzied Liberty, he provides a detailed examination of the causes and consequences of the war, and he exposes the greed and corruption that led to its outbreak.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the events leading up to the war, including the rise of militarism and nationalism in Europe. The second part examines the economic and political factors that contributed to the war, including the role of big business and the banking industry. The third part analyzes the impact of the war on society and the economy, including the rise of totalitarianism and the decline of democracy.Overall, Frenzied Liberty is a thought-provoking and insightful critique of American foreign policy during World War I. It challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about the war and to question the motives of those who profit from conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
